Mark F. Pomerantz reportedly took the Fifth in refusing to honor Manhattan D.A. Bragg's agreement for him to be deposed by the House Judiciary Committee May 12. The apparent lack of good faith on the part of Pomerantz, exhibiting an aura of Alger Hiss-type hauteur, prompted LPR to write this four-line doggerel.

The lesson of May 12 on Capitol Hill

Despite Bragg's agreement to the deposition Pomerantz

towards Chairman Jordan acted with utter recalcitrance

not to mention contempt for the Judiciary Committee he defied

convinced he is above reproach and forever prettified

More LPR Doggeral...

You can lead a Trump-deranged leftist to a deposition

but you can't make him testify

Mark F. Pomerantz, supercilious as the late Alger Hiss,

treated the House Judiciary Committee with disdain.

No tricks of evasion did this former prosecutor miss

Including mention of the Fifth, pouring forth like drops of rain.

What is he hiding, still to be revealed

behold him for now, a mass of Trump-hate congealed
