Though he argued that, "if the Governor does it, it isn't illegal," then called out the National Guard to guard him from the Sheriff until Al Capone offered to solve the governor's legal issues.

His other argument was that he cashed the tax checks directly into his personal accounts. Since he took the money before the state ever received it, he couldn't possibly be guilty of stealing from the state!
