We Know

Mr. Vice President
 Mr. Madison
 Senator Burr
 What is this?
 We have the check stubs from separate accounts
 Almost a thousand dollars paid in different amounts
 To a Mr. James Reynolds way back in 1791
 Is that what you have
 Are you done?
 You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position
 Though virtue is not a word I'd apply to this situation
 To seek financial gain, you stray from your sacred mission
 And the evidence suggests you engaged in speculation
 An immigrant embezzling our government funds
 I can almost see the headline, your career is done
 I hope you saved some money for your daughter and son
 Ya best gwan run back where ya come from
 Ha! You don't even know what you're asking me to confess (confess)
 You have nothing
 I don't have to tell you anything at all
 Unless (unless)
 If I can prove that I never broke the law
 Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?
 No one else was in the room where it happened
 Is that a yes?
 Um... yes
 "Dear sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
 And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
 In the pockets of people like me down on their luck
 You see, that was my wife who you decided to—"
 What
 She courted me
 Escorted me to bed
 And when she had me in the corner
 That's when Reynolds extorted me
 For a sordid fee
 I paid him quarterly
 I may have mortally wounded my prospects
 But my papers are orderly
 As you can see, I kept a record of every check in my checking history
 Check it again against your list and see consistency
 I never spent a cent that wasn't mine
 You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
 Yes, I have reason for shame
 But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name
 As you can see, I have done nothing to provoke legal action
 Are my answers to your satisfaction?
 My god
 Gentlemen, let's go
 So?
 The people won't know what we know
 Burr!
 How do I know you won't use this against me the next time we go toe to toe
 Alexander, rumors only grow
 And we both know what we know
