Despite wielding all the sheer lawyer strength
he could muster
the names on the Michael Cohen's client list
were revealed
in fact
by his own lawyer
and one of them
was Fox News' head honcho Sean Hannity.
Suddenly the man concerned
with Robert Mueller III's alleged conflicts of interest
in the investigation of President Trump
and who said of George Stephanopoulos'
secret $75,000 donation
to the Clinton Foundation
because he had just grilled
conservative critic Peter Schweizer
for his book denouncing the non-profit
in so many words
“The idea that they're saying ...
'Oh, it was an honest mistake'
I don't believe that.
I think he thought he'd get away with it
and didn't disclose it”
seems rather non-contrite
while displaying all the signs
of a stammering-
I-didn't-do-anything-wrong-
but-please-God-why-did-I-get-caught-
truly-non-guilty man.
