An Asset?

The clues have been…let's say,

Preponderant. We've seen

That Trump's reputation

Is far from squeaky clean.

 

Now he sounds indignant:

"How dare they imply

That I worked with Russia!

Do THEY think I'm a spy?"

 

Is there evidence

That Trump and certain staff,

Knowingly or not,

Worked on Russia's behalf?

 

Knowing or not knowing…

Yes, even the latter

Definitely is

A counterintelligence matter.

 

The FBI will discover

Whether suspicions are true

While Trump sends out a tweetstorm.

Of course, what else is new?

 

Is he an asset to Russia

At our country's expense?

The accusation really

Makes a lot of sense.

 

His words and actions are

Often injudicious,

Which makes him sound so utterly

And blatantly suspicious.

 

Mueller certainly knows

A lot more than we think.

He will put together

The pieces, link by link.

 

Team Trump will spread

Deep state myths to steer

Us off the path to truth.

They smear whom they can smear.

 

They will try to hide

The truth without a doubt.

Cooperation with Russia

Is what it’s all about.

 

Misstating the law,

Giuliani tries

To give Trump his support

By backing the president’s lies.

 

Trump’s words leave us

With so much to bemoan.

Who knows WHAT goes on

When Putin and he are alone?

 

He's been parroting Putin's

Talking points. How's that?

Is he a spokesman for

The Russian autocrat?

Undeniably, Trump

Finds himself in a spot,

Which amounts to a case

Of possible kompromat.

 

Never have we had

A situation so…hairy.

Never have we had

A president so scary.

Love your ‘Trumpergate’ series Bob. Clever, concise, cutting analysis of the sad state of the union. These should be in a book to be published when Humpty Dumb-ty falls off his literal, symbolic and figurative wall. Sooner than later I hope.
