Fighting Fire with Gasoline

We need to turn down the heat, our President-in-Exile said today. What oh what could he do to help? he wondered, saying he’d offered the Department of Justice assurances he would assist them in any way he could. Of course then he tweeted that the American people would not stand for any more witch hunting shenanigans by the FBI. Thanks, Donald, for trying to put out the fire. Next time, don’t use flammables in a high wind.
I guess if I had multiple legal problems, I’d think about starting a backfire, see if we could draw attention to Over There, Look! They Raided My Beautiful House, They Swiped My 3 Passports, They Even Took Those Top Secret Nuclear Files That Don’t Exist But If They Do They Got De-classified Before I Left Office! And anyway, I offered to give them back but they snuck in and stole them. You know, if they even exist. And if they are there, the FBI planted them.
I know ten year old punk kids who can make better excuses than this guy. Some can even stick to their story without changing it every day. The question I want to ask my MAGA friends is how they would look at this story if it were anyone else but Trump. I’m not even talking about Obama or Hillary. Just anybody. Joe Schmoe, say, who happens to have a basement full of top secret files the government asked to get back but who, for whatever reason, decided to keep. Files on sensitive operations, nuclear secrets, who knows what on the French President, files that were never meant to be moved without authorization. What would you think we should do when Joe says he gave them back, nothing to see in his basement that would interest the FBI and anyway, Joe claims they’re not really confidential materials, go whistle in the dark.
Okay, I know what my MAGA friends would say. Deep State, government conspiracy, innocent when proven guilty, best President we ever had, witch hunt, witch hunt, witch hunt, stolen election, Benghazi Benghazi. I know too what I would say. Lock Him Up!
