NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch has also recently complained that the same fate may befall Trump, apparently not realizing that a notoriously murderous Chicago gangster may not exactly be the most sympathetic comparison for our current president.
As New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait cheekily points out, Trump and his defenders seem to be relying on the (fictional) legal principle that, for both Capone and Trump, 「A person can only be charged with their worst crime.」
Capone’s lawyers argued that it was somehow unfair to convict someone for a tax crime when other bigger charges couldn’t be made to stick.
Capone’s downfall came in part because he initially hired an incompetent lawyer who handed over incriminating information to the feds.
And finally, the trial included some evidence that may remind readers of the Manafort prosecution, which is of course what led Trump to invoke Capone’s name in the first place.

美國國家檔案登記處女發言人Dana Loesch最近也抱怨同樣的命運可能會降臨到川普身上,對我們現任總統來說,顯然她沒有意識到一個臭名昭著的兇殘的芝加哥黑幫或許不是最令人同情的比喻。正如《紐約雜誌》的喬納森·查特厚顏無恥地指出的那樣,川普和他的辯護人似乎都依賴(虛構的)法律原則,即對於卡彭和川普來說,「一個人只能因犯下最嚴重的罪行被指控」。卡彭的律師辯稱,在其他更大的指控無法成立的情況下,判定某人犯有稅務罪是不公平的。卡彭倒臺的部分原因是,他最初聘請了一名不稱職的律師,向聯邦調查局(fed)提供了罪證信息。最後,審判中包含的一些證據可能會讓讀者想起馬納福特案,當然,正是馬納福特案讓川普首先提到了卡彭的名字。
