Zugzwang ~ Saturday, 4 May 2019

Between you and me, they haven't a chance, 
remember, this is high stakes politics, 
even if the elections were not rigged, 
and the Electoral College not bribed, 
killing the President is just plain wrong, 
in this day and age, at least, with no war, 
no collusion, to speak of directly, 
granting him clemency would boost morale, 

take Nixon, for instance, if he rotted, 
however long in jail, without pardon, 
everyone would live in fear of prison. 

Forget the fact, the President had lied, 
only that clamshell, Putin, knew the truth, 
under no pressure to inform the world, 
really, do you think an ex-KGB 
tight-lipped security organizer, 
however skilled in judo, would speak up? 

We know the former President did not 
act wilfully to subvert the nation, 
left to his own devices, he advised 
legal counsel to disregard endgame.
