Moonlighting? Habba, Habba Do!

by Steven Kent

“Trump erupted after learning of Alina Habba’s $50M deal: Angry about the scale of a contract signed by one of his former lawyers with the family of a wealthy pardon seeker, the president told allies he wanted some of the money to go to his future presidential library.”
—The New York Times

He hates when his employees sell
Their access circumspectly—
If money’s to be made, then hell,
It should be his directly!

She’s always had a nerve, real cheek,
But this time Habba blew it.
You gotta let him wet his beak—
That’s how the Dons all do it.
