Month: September 2022

So much in the news
From which I could choose
But tops in my view:
Judge Cannon, the loose

She made her decision
Much viewed with derision
Her ruling’s position
Supported Trump’s mission

All documents, even
Those classified Secret,
Must all thus be proven
Her ruling Trump driven

That leaves DOJ
With no other way
To counter her say
Than ask for a stay

And file an appeal
The Court of Appeals
To quash Cannon’s spiel
A nasty ordeal

Trump’s motives get dicier since we have learned
Of several docs’ classification they earned
Top Secret, No Foreign, Compartmented stuff
Of nuclear info few people could touch

Such papers are kept in a safe in a SCIF
Mishandling them brings on penalties stiff
They must be signed out then signed back to the safe
Trump knew when committing those document rapes

Trump made it quite easy for guests and for staff
Who really were spies and could take photographs
They’d be trained to access locked chambers and steal
Now the Feds must assume secrets have been revealed

Meanwhile Trump, the victim, claimed it wasn’t fair
For Justice Department to see what was there
Among all the docs he was privileged to keep
He sued for a “master” to choose who could see

Judge Aileen M Cannon, this case she decided
Appointed by Trump and with Trump’s plea she sided
Her decision was criticized sharply by many
Top tier legal experts with rationale plenty

I doubt special masters are easy to find
With top level clearance, it boggles the mind
On whom both the parties could truly agree
Thus, stalling the Fed’s probe of Trump so it seems

It appears that Judge Cannon’s a true MAGA judge
There’re many more like her, inexperienced and young
I do think this ruling will soon be appealed
This won’t be their last with Trump’s foibles to deal

They say Trump absconded with classified stuff
He claims they’re his documents; why all the fuss?
Okay, some top secret, so what does that mean?
By Jill and Joe public they shouldn’t be seen

But Trump was our President; maybe still is
If he says “they‘re mine” then they really are his
The Feds had no right to invade where Trump lives
And steal all those boxes; one wonders what gives?

That’s what a Republican MAGA might say
He doesn’t let truthfulness get in his way
But Trump really knew he was breaking the law
But he could care less; some advantage he saw

In taking these documents out from the SCIF
In spite of the penalties, punishments stiff
And have them repaired to his Florida home,
To Club Mar-A-Lago plus places unknown

So what were Trump’s motives with great risk in sight
Although Trump looks down on the law from his height
It is the big question to speculate on
So here’s my conjecture, experience drawn

To have inside knowledge that few others have
It builds up his ego to boast and to rave
It’s data to market for power and wealth
In spite of the dangers to some agents’ health

Knowledge to blackmail toward getting his way
Knowledge for ruining, making one pay
Many nefarious things Trump could find
But really I think these weren’t strong on his mind

Trump felt that he owned them; they’re his he believed
They helped to define his Presidency
Since he’s still the government, what he says goes
What motive beyond that not even Trump knows
