The Mueller Report is out--at least

We've seen the version that's been redacted.

Was anyone really surprised

At how the president reacted?

Trump's first reaction was

That he had been exonerated.

Not so fast, Mr. T!

There's no reason to feel elated.

First of all, obstruction of justice

Runs through the detailed report.

Trump and friends ignore those findings--

One more thing they choose to contort.

In our current culture of lying

Coming all the way down from the top,

One can find little hope

That all the lying's going to stop.

Trump's lackey, AG Barr,

Lied to the American people as well.

Of course, we've known all along

That he has a bill of goods to sell.

Now to add insult to injury,

Trump has come up with a solution:

Fighting congressional oversight

And tromping all over our Constitution.

Trump is defying subpoenas from Congress.

He's telling his people to do it, too--

Telling them to break the law.

So now what will Congress do?

Obstruction of justice appears to be

For Donald Trump a major M.O.

As he defies our basic values,

It's scary to see how far he'll go.

The cancer continues to spread in the White House.

It must be removed. Otherwise,

American democratic values

Will wither before our very eyes.
