I will be on travel for the next couple weeks so my contributions may be a bit sporadic.
The Hearing
The Intel Committee of our great Upper House
Conducted a hearing, ’twas live on TV
It featured two witnesses who, there’s no doubt
Gave Trump cause to worry, their testimony
The Honorable James Clapper the former DNI
The Honorable Ms Yates former Acting AG
Both acquitted self admirably though the panel tried
To sully decisions made responsibly
I’ll focus on Sally’s key statements so true
That told of the danger to the country Flynn was
When she told White House Counsel the terrible news
About Flynn and the Russians; they did nothing because …
And therein lies the question, why did Trump nothing do
Too, we learned that Trump hired Flynn to be NSA
Against advice from Obama, short of clearances too
Trump ignored Yate’s warnings for some thirteen more days
If it weren’t for some leaker to the Washington Post
Michael Flynn would remain NSA to this day
Why has Trump favored Flynn? On my mind uppermost
I’m suspecting the answer’s what I’m fearful to say
Michael Flynn is the lynchpin on collusion with Putin
He knows all of the dirt on this sordid affair
Trump needs Flynn as an ally, lest he does the Trump in
Flynn’s requested immunity, his soul he’d bare
But Republicans favor a drawn-out approach
They’re afraid that the President might not survive
Revelations of collusion. It would doom all their hopes
So they wear narrow blinders keeping Trump’s myth alive
