CSI: American Carnage (Monday, June 29, 2020)
WASHINGTON – The stench lays thick in the Executive Lounge. Behind the polycarbonate shield, the mound of white mold now fills the entire space, extending all the way back into the rear bathroom where it has clogged the toilet, rupturing the pipes. Wastewater now leaks into the first-floor Dolly Madison Tearoom. Aunt Rita has alerted Mick who has alerted a maintenance crew. Several workers in overalls are seeking to shore up sagging plaster. A cloud of rancid vapors is seeping into the teevee viewing area. The teevee is on pause. Donald is on the phone. He pays no attention to the smell, which is somewhat akin to the reek of dead rodents in advanced decay. Donald’s conversation is animated. He says, John, check my schedule. They’re saying I knew something about it, which I did not, as you know. I can’t know anything about something I don’t know, right? John says, No, you were never briefed about any Russia thing. Not possible. I’m looking at your calendar here. Late March you were in Bedminster. High-level meetings, the highest. You were with Joey, Dom the Mouth, Dogface, and Twizzles. Says here you were out there with them every single day, as in every day. Donald says, So it’s totally fake. John says, It is completely made up. Fake News.™ There were no runners or go-to guys out there. Let’s see. On the course, you got calls from Sal, Vinnie the Wop, Mick, not Bumbler Mick in Washington, the other Mick, from AC, Mick the Handyman, the guy you use for small cleanups. Let’s see. You got calls from Darla, Patty, Sybil, Natasha, Katrina, Natasha again, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha. Donald says, She was telling me some interesting things about what she was doing. John says, Yeah. I was listening. Ok. Evenings, you’ve got Natasha, Natasha, Katrina, Natasha. Donald says, Yeah. Listen, Natasha was very imaginative, like the head, in her head. We should get her again. Go ahead. John says, Okay. The point is that in late March, you were very busy. Congress, the Chinese Virus, that kind of thing. You say that intell didn’t tell you anything, and that it wasn’t credible. Donald says, That will work. All the work we’re doing to get the greatest economy in the world restarted, I told them, Don’t come to me with all the nonsense intell. They are out to get Trump, which you know. Many times. John says, Yeah, I can see here you didn’t know. And I never heard anything, nobody came to me, nobody said, hey, the Russians are paying the Taliban to kill our troops. I would have said, We’ll hit them with everything we have. I would fight our way into the Kremlin, grab that little shit Putin and rip out his liver and feed it to Eric’s guys. That was before the Washington deployment. They were free in March. Donald says, Yeah, that’s right. Baron, you’ve been very informative about the information, the calendar thing is good. Keep me informed of what I don’t know. I want us in constant communication. Use the private number. John says, Remember you don’t know nothing until we talk. – Monday, June 29, 2020
