Ballad of Delowar Hossain in the SDNY, (c) Matthew Russell Lee, 2 Oct 2021

Delowar Hossain, he drives an Uber
His Federal Defender says he's not a terrorist but a luber
DOJ says he wants to go help the Taliban
Who've been handed control of all of Afghanistan

Now the confidential informants are on the stand
And their talk about fiery youths comes off as canned
Each was paid thirty thousand bucks while working in a deli
There's something about this prosecution that's getting smelly

The prosecutors roll in each day with their big shopping carts
And two main witnesses that know more about the culinary arts
Juror Number One got texted, He's guilty, it's clear
While his parents int he gallery hold Delowar Hossain dear

That he said some scary thing seems beyond dispute
But would jaling him for year cut terror off at the root?
Saipov of the van is defended by the same Federal Defenders
While DOJ still does nothing about predatory lenders

Now the confidential informants are on the stand
And their talk about fiery youths comes off as canned
Each was paid thirty thousand bucks while working in a deli
There's something about this prosecution that's getting smelly

Ukraine 108th Week Dictators in Parallel Blues
by Matthew Russell Lee, Inner City Press, March 16, 2024

It's the 108th week of the war in Ukraine
Putin getting elected, money on Tony's brain
Both making book off Gaza ruins
Dictators in parallel, cynical doings

Vlad's censors put Rain TV into exile
Guterres banned the Press with a smile
Each serves the other in kabuki theater game
One goes shirtless, the other too ashamed
The UN is failing on Ukraine 
And it's not just the veto 
It's that the Big Boss Tony Guterres 
Has spent 6 years calling Putin Papacito

Ukraine 109th Week UN Double Game Blues
by Matthew Russell Lee, Inner City Press, March 23, 2024

It's the 109th week of the war in Ukraine
Tony in Brussels playing his double game
Backs up dictators, pretends he doesn't
Bans the Press, censors are his cousins

From EU snoozefest heads to see Sisi
Crackdown on Coptics, he's in solidarity
Empty words about Crocus City Hall
Speaks through zombie media, tries to fool them all

The UN is failing on Ukraine 
And it's not just the veto 
It's that the Big Boss Tony Guterres 
Has spent 6 years calling Putin Papacito

Bankman-Fried! Bankman-Fried!
Acceptance of responsibility, that's what he need!
Bankman-Fried! Bankman-Fried!
Stole victims' billions, judge doesn't care if it was greed!
Sam says there is money / Only John Ray's holdin back
Marc says Sam is special / it's just emotion that he lack
Sam praise Nishad and Gary / throws Caroline some shade
Then back to MDC jail / to the thin bed that he made

Bankman-Fried! Bankman-Fried!
Twenty five years minus good time, that's what he need!
Crypto crime! Crypto crime!
Mashinsky, Do and CZ, who will get more time?

Trump Trial Jury Selection Blues
By Matthew Russell Lee, Inner City Press, April 20, 2024

Bragg versus Trump, jury selection
Seven months before the election
Man on fire out in Collect Pond Park
The rulings by Merchan certainly look stark
Gag order, contempt, possible jail time
It's not red, it's a blue line
There was a nurse, by her friend she was outed
Justice Merchan claims his rules have been flouted
Irish accent, do not report it
Self-immolation? We Press got morbid
Gag order, contempt, possible jail time
It's not red, it's a blue line
One juror's father was a friend of Chris Christie
Another was linked to Hakeem Jeffries
One juror quit, pleading Red Texas
More than 1 seemed to be driving a Lexus
Gag order, contempt, possible jail time
It's not red, it's a blue line

Trump Trial Pecker Blues
By Matthew Russell Lee, Inner City Press, April 27, 2024
Check book journo, this is Pecker
If a paid woman talks he will wreck her
Living on cash, three-headed babies
Holding the secrets of three hundred ladies
Gag order, contempt, possible jail time
It's not red, it's a blue line
They raided his house, took his cell phone
A legal fiasco that he had sewn
He cut a deal with the Fed boys
Never expected all this crowd noise
Gag order, contempt, possible jail time
It's not red, it's a blue line

Trump Trial Pecker Blues By Matthew Russell Lee, Inner City Press

In Trump Trial Davidson Crossed on Lohan and Hulk Hogan Says Did Not Extract from Sheen
by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

100 CENTRE ST COURT, May 2 – In the Trump trial before Keith Davidson retook the witness stand, Justice Merchan asked to hear about contempt.

The prosecutor focused on Trump's praise of David Pecker as a "nice guy," calling it carrot and stick. 

 Justice Merchan said he was most concerned about comments about the jury being 95% Democrats and presumptively unfair. Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche said that wasn't about any particular juror. A decision will come.  

 When Trump's lawyer Emil Bove -- pronounced "Beau-vee" all now agree -- got to cross examine Davidson, the sparks flew.

He asked if Davidson hadn't been investigated for possible extortion in Florida, and about his role in leaking the Lindsay Lohan rehab tape, and Hulk Hogan sex tape.  

  Davidson took to saying, I don't recall. He tried to push back and say if Bove was, as he said, not trying to play lawyer game, he shouldn't use terms like extract, as in extract money from Charlie Sheen.

  By lunch Bove said he had an hour left.

People will pay for information

Gag order, contempt, possible jail time

Hope Hicks she went to work for Ivanka
But after she testified they didn't say danka
She said Michael Cohen was a cheapskate
Now they read all about it in the Deep State
