Demo QuidPro v GOP Quo

The  gentleman

was referring to the meeting of the 23rd

at least that's what I think I heard

He said she said thus and such

at then the other said just as much

on such and such a day we know

but it does not constitute the quid pro quo 

Just answer yes or no:

Thusandsuch was provided for soandso

but it doesn't amount to a quid pro quo,

yet the majority puts on its impeachment show

while minority says no no no

still aint no quid pro quo.

The gentleman will please--

I don't know I don't know

The gentleman is out of order

was that your memory of the--

The gentleman is badgering the witness

and was that the same meeting where

--no sir that was on the meeting of the 16th

 so are you agreeing with mister soandso's--

Just answer yes or no

I am not prepared to--

It was not at the meeting of the 23rd.

The gentleman's time is up.

The gentleman will please—

Let me finish sir

the gentleman is badgering the witness

the gentleman can’t get a word in edgewise

point of order

that’s not a point of order; that's a procedural--

The gentleman's time is up.

The chair wishes to recognize the gentleman from--

point of order sir

let me finish

but the majority members have an agenda

is it quid pro quo or no?

This is what we need to know

But the record  does not show--

I do not know sir. The chair wishes to recognize--

point of order sir

no no that’s not what the president said

is my memory of it.

 The gentleman will please--

Oh but the gentleman is badgering the witness.

oh no but he told him no 

on the phone you know

that's what  the metadata show

It all depends on how far you want to go

with this hyped-up committee  show,

media  display of public futility

with impressive legal facility

But where  shoulda been judicial governance

 we see rabid rhetorical comeuppance

as ship of state gets beached in procedural mire

surely John and Jane Doe will  tire

as  congressional spellbinding winds higher

they'll bluster til the cows come home

til quid pro quo is committee’dly shown

while donkey detailers go on braying

elephants in the room are disobeying.

Meanwhile the documents pile and pile.

This could go on for awhile.

That Trump's a loose cannon we all remember.

Let the American people decide in November.
