SAN DIEGO−Exoneration (to the tune of Anticipation)

He and the angry Dems tried to take me down.
But I claimed it was all fake news grist.
And if you were one of those who slandered me,
Then welcome to my enemies list.

Exoneration, exoneration!
Should be making me glad,
But I’m seething mad.

I’ll turn the tables on the press and deep state.
They who suspected I colluded with a Czar.
I fired Sessions to appoint a loyal AG.
And that’s how Justice got a lower Barr.

Retaliation, retaliation!
I’ll Twitter troll.
And heads will roll.

And in weeks the AG will release the Report.
I’m no prophet but I know how they will react.
So Billy boy spin it so I’m left unscathed.
Whatever is damning, feel free to redact.

Exoneration, exoneration!
Ignore the assertions
Obstruction aspersions.

And stick with me ’cause I’m an innocent man.
I am so innocent.
I am so innocent.
I am so innocent.
