President Trump pardons Conrad Black

Comment:


Who is Conrad Black?   The media says that he is a billionaire.  But the story is more complicated than that.  Is truth the standard, or is politics?  When did success become illegal in America?

A reference to Black was made in Clarice Feldman's story here, and I remembered the story that Black was pardoned. 

At first, I thought this was another of Obama's tricks.  It resembled the Russian collusion story.  But this story originated during the Bush years.  According to Black, there wasn't any truth to the allegations.  The Supreme Court vacated the conviction, but a lower court reinstated it.  Something seems wrong here. 

Evidently, our government punishes people for political reasons.  Did Conrad Black go to jail for the crime of being rich?
