So Al Capone thinks the D.A. and Judge are being too hard on Frank Nitti. So he gets word out that he wants they should ease up and like magic the proposed sentence is reduced.
I read about something like this in today’s paper. Who says there is no honor among crooks? Trump has issued a back-door pardon to his faithful fixer, Roger Stone, and the so-called Justice Department welcomed this as another instance of the Dictator’s magnanimity and compassion and has caved in altogether. The government prosecutors have left the case so as not to have to participate in a total fraud. Trump says that Stone’s “is a horrible and very unfair situation.” Well, I guess Trump knows all about horrible, but how would he ever know, or care, what is unfair.
