Banana is having a little ad hominem daydream.


The real reason that Al Capone's case is being discussed alongside Fischer's,
is that Bobby's "crime" of violating an Executive order, could well end up
being dismissed or minimized into the equivalent of an isolated pawn; but his
other crimes: failure to file and failure to pay income taxes, are (if he falls
into U.S. hands) likely going to hit him hard, like hanging a Queen in midgame.

There is no escape from THIS, except staying out of the grip of U.S.
authorities altogether, as he had originally planned.
The same applied to Al Capone, who went to prison for tax evasion, and they
merely had to show that he did not report all his income. Like it or not,
Bobby is in the very same boat, except there is no reason to expect the courts
to give the maximum sentence. Even if Dubya were, for some strange reason, to
give Fischer a full pardon, he would nonetheless, be in a position not unlike
that of Al Capone, after his aquittal on criminal charges. If you can't see
the parallel, you are as blind as a pair of pigs [i.e. Rooks] on the seventh
rank....
