Al Capone was a violent gangster and racketeer, feared for acts such as the Valentine's Day Massacre. And it was tax evasion that ultimately landed him a long sentence in prison.
Trump and Company could very well have committed treason with the Kremlin. And the thing that may be his downfall are payments to porn stars that violate campaign finance laws.
We live in strange times. I look forward to the Coen Brothers movie about all this.

Comment #1 is already the winner, I think

Whatever it takes, imo. There is an even chance that GOP Senators and Reps are capable of obstructing the Trump investigation for the next 6 years. Like Sodom and Gomorrah, I don't think there is a single honorable soul left in the GOP except John McCain, and he's dying.

He said they talked and he seemed very nice and polite.
