10. All of Trump's remarks

–throughout Comey's statements that were released today smack of "mobster speak." It's all in there, the veiled allusions, the vague requests, the guarded metaphors, all of it. "We got this thing, you know."

It sounded like dialogue from a somewhat hackneyed Mafia flick.

14. You've described it perfectly-unmistakenly mob talk

[wishstar]

13. Trump resembles a mob boss wanting loyalty and saying "this thing"

No wonder Comey felt uncomfortable and didnt want to be left alone with Mafia Don
