    Look man, I’m as cynical as it gets but this is good news and a step in the right direction.

    Personally the hush money stuff to me is the least consequential but it opens the doors hopefully to nail the fucker on his other crimes.

      Al Capone didn’t go to prison for operating a racket or any of the numerous murders he committed or was involved with. He went to prison for tax evasion. This might be the closest we get to him ever being held accountable and I’ll take it. Hopefully the court understands this and gives him the maximum sentence knowing the context of his actions.

      It’s a bit disappointing, but that’s just how things work.

      Also, given that Trump has been comparing himself to Al Capone recently in his speeches, this is quite hilarious outcome.
