The Other Memo

Devin Nunes and fellow Republicans

Certainly had their hands full

When they composed a controversial

Memo that was basically bull.

Nunes' cherry-picked assertions

Were assembled to malign

The FBI and also to lay

The groundwork for firing Rosenstein.

Trump was advised not to release

The memo but did it anyway,

Nervous because the Mueller probe

Is closing in day by day.

Before Trump had even seen

The Nunes memo, he avowed

He would release it, which in turn

Would do his Republican lackeys proud.

The Democrats have sent to Trump

Another memo for release--

One that rebuts the Devin Nunes'

Attack-memo, piece by piece.

But what? Trump won't release it?

All of a sudden we all learn

That national security

Is the president's major concern.

So Russian meddling in our elections

Is not a serious issue, and yet

A memo rebutting misinformation

Is a major security threat?

"Release the memo!" messages

Won't be sent out by Russian bots

To help you, Dems. They are waiting

For Nunes to write more devious plots.

The more Trump has tried to resist--

The more he's covered up facts and lied--

The more it seems so obvious

That there is something he's trying to hide.
