Conrad Black, Bilderberg member and serial fraudster, was convicted in 2007, but pardoned by Donald Trump in 2019 after writing a flattering biography of the president. - [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Black ]

Eric H. Sussman: I prosecuted Conrad Black — and this presidential pardon is a mockery of justice

‘The pardon lays bare the fact that justice in Donald Trump’s America is unapologetically linked to who you know and how much money you have’

Early Wednesday evening, I began receiving a series of texts and emails alerting me to the fact that President Donald Trump had pardoned Conrad Black. Many of these messages concluded with the question, “Can you believe it?” My answer to each of these queries was the same: “yes.” Ultimately, I was saddened but not surprised that President Trump had decided to pardon Black for his theft of millions of dollars from public shareholders and obstruction of justice.

Many will believe that I was saddened because, as the former prosecutor on Black’s case, the pardon has undermined the conviction that myself and many of my colleagues in federal law enforcement worked so hard to obtain. This assumption is mistaken. Moreover, I bear no ill will towards Black despite his often-colourful descriptions of me and his other “accusers” in the media. Rather, I am saddened by the message this pardon sends about the current state of the rule of law and justice in the United States.

Trump Just Pardoned a Guy Who Wrote a Book Calling Him a ‘Genius’

Conrad Black is only the latest presidential crony to be granted clemency

The most immense and dangerous public scandal in American history is finally cracking open like a ripe pomegranate. The broad swath of the Trump-hating press that has participated in what has amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the

For more than two years, the United States and the world have had two competing narratives: that an elected president of the United States was a Russian agent whom the Kremlin helped elect; and its rival narrative that senior officials of the Justice Department, FBI, CIA, and other national intelligence organizations had repeatedly lied under oath, misinformed federal officials, and meddled in partisan political matters illegally and unconstitutionally and had effectively tried to influence the outcome of a presidential election, and then undo its result by falsely propagating the first narrative. It is now obvious and indisputable that the second narrative is the correct one.

The authors, accomplices, and dupes of this attempted overthrow of constitutional government are now well along in reciting their misconduct without embarrassment or remorse because — in fired FBI Director James Comey’s formulation — a “higher duty” than the oath they swore to uphold the Constitution compelled them. Or — in fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s words — “the threat” was too great. Nevermind that the nature of “the threat” was that the people might elect someone he and Mr. Comey disapproved of as president, and that that person might actually serve his term, as elected.

…

The disgrace of their misconduct is profound and shocking. Richard Nixon, against whom there is no conclusive evidence that he broke any laws (although a number of people in his entourage did) never did anything like this. J. Edgar Hoover in 47 years at the head of the FBI and its predecessor organization, never tried to meddle in a presidential election.
