Manafort trial yesterday
Weismann got shut down for bringing up Manafort's expensive tastes
parallel:
Capone's trial
they brought up all of his luxury spending
to establish his wealth, cuz he never filed a tax return:
"An extravagant lifestyle could be evidence of substantial unreported income, so investigators examined department store, jewelry store, car dealership, and hotel records for evidence of Capone’s expenditures."
top witness:
"With Reis's statement, prosecutors decided they had enough evidence to go before a grand jury. (After completing his grand jury testimony, Reis was shipped off to South America for safekeeping until trial.)"
Hannity mentioned this gambit last night
pressure the witnesses
get 'em to sing
reward them with a new life paid for by US
