b-t-c claims credit for the eclipse

modestly publicly assuming

that his latest fundraising triumph

is cause for today’s shadow play

of how it will also shade out

courtroom battles and his use

of campaign funds to pay his legal fees

but many smaller would-be-donors

already know that to be fact
