    Am I the only person who thinks it's weird the president is a) taking up for Al Capone and b) comparing Manafort to him?

        And what was Al Capone jailed for but for tax evasion, and that sent the notorious Al Capone to Alcatraz Island until his death while housed in Alcatraz due to syphilis.

        I think the weirdest part is he always seems to use Capone's whole first name. Who calls him Alfonse? #Manafort #Capone

        In a tweet, @realDonaldTrump mentions Al Capone. Back in March, I explained what Trump and company seem to have learned from The Untouchables: http://www.epicjourney2008.com/2018/03/the-trump-gang-is-cribbing-from-capone.html …

        No you're not. This whole period of history is somewhat surrealistic and I mean in a nightmare kind of way.

        Yesterday Hannity also compared Trump to John Gotti, with Manafort as Sammy the Bull.

        Its beyond weird. Its Twilight Zone territory. He is being treated better than Al Capone. Al Capone was smarter than him though, because Big Al was never caught tampering with witnesses until that is his bookkeeper turned states witness and showed Feds the coded transactions.

        Call me crazy, but I'm thinking charges of tax avoidance, bank fraud & money laundering may resonate in ways collusion, conspiracy & obstruction don't. With all Capone did & might have been charged,, taxes were his undoing. What's on 45's taxes - years of them. #MuellerKnows
