Comedian of Law

Donald Trump is facing an imminent indictment for sloppy record keeping of business expenses. No matter the outcome, QuickBooks has to jump on this golden marketing opportunity. If Trump goes down for the manner in which his books are kept, will Al Capone give him the proverbial head nod, as in "I know what you're going through big guy."
