QUID PRO QUO


In a Trump-supporting Republican’s mind
To have a quid pro quo
You must have used the exact term
Quid pro quo

Otherwise, demanding a favor
In return for a service or money
Is nothing more than
A bit of innocuous word honey

This impeachment thing
Has Republicans jumping through
Complex rhetorical hoops
Trying to avoid what is true

Their focus is on “process”
Which they assert is unfair
If you bring up substance
They just fiddle with their hair
Refusing to answer questions
Which they might summarily reject
As a reporter’s invalid conclusions
While they race for the nearest exit
