Looking back on history, who was treated worse, Alfonse Capone, legendary mob boss, killer and Public Enemy Number One, or Paul Manafort, political operative & Reagan/Dole darling, now serving solitary confinement - although convicted of nothing? Where is the Russian Collusion?

(115,733 posts)Alphonse Capone spent six years imprisoned at Alcatraz, then was paroled in 1939. He died some years later of tertiary syphilis and a stroke. Like Manafort, he was tried for tax evasion but he was never charged with murder or other mob-related crimes other than prohibition violations.
Manafort is being held in jail (not "solitary" ) for the duration of the trial for witness tampering while he was out. He wouldn't be in jail if he hadn't tried to tamper with witnesses.
But who needs facts?
