Underexposed

It’s more than just some juicy poop
About who knew what dirt and when.
It’s why high-ups weren’t in the loop
(Or if in point of fact were then).
The rest of us were surely not.
As campaigns raged, we knew not squat.

Petraeus and biographer
Were smart enough to realize
Betraying us could well incur
The kind of grist that interests spies.
While likely they’d have both refused,
Their blackmail risk remains confused.

And what we need is acumen—
Accountability that suits.
Without it, Secret Servicemen
On duty hired prostitutes
And could have chanced their main intent:
The safety of the president.

In lover Broadwell’s e-mails file
Were some she got tagged classified,
She wrote a bundle that revile
A rival she could not abide,
Or so she thought Jill Kelley was,
But listen to the latest buzz:

A self-appointed go-between
With DoD’s Spec Ops Command
Jill wrote another Gen . . . I mean
It’s all too hard to understand!
I want the Hill to show some clout
And hear soon what it’s all about.
