If we’d had confidence that
a crime was not committed
we would have said so
If we’d had confidence that
a crime was committed
we would not have said so
because that would be unfair
because if a crime was committed
justice would not be brought
because the justice department
doesn’t do that kind of justice although
No one is above the law
and the law is above no one who
is above the law because
That is someone else’s job
and that someone else
would like the discussion to end because
Bringing the one who is above the law
below the law would be
a distraction
from the law-making agenda
And it’s just. not. worth it
