In America, you can murder your wife, sexually assault altar boys, poison people with illegal rotgut gin and industrial effluents, or burn down entire forests and still have a fighting chance in court.

(That’s what finally got Al Capone, you know, tax evasion, not his bootlegging, bribery, racketeering, and murder.)

This explains, in part, why Donnie had such a terrible time finding competent representation when faced with the so-called “Russia” investigation.
