‘If you were able to put in a cameo appearance and say a supporting word, I’m sure it would have an impact,’ Black wrote to Trump about a fractious Hollinger meeting

It’s a scenario few could even have imagined when Conrad Black was found guilty of fraud and obstruction of justice in a Chicago courtroom in 2007, one that was packed so full of International media and spectators that a second overflow room was set up in the downtown courthouse.

Trial watchers also knew that Trump had spoken up for Black at Hollinger International’s annual shareholders meeting in 2003 in New York, where the media mogul was facing down increasingly agitated investors who were upset by large yet opaque management fees paid to Black and a few associates at a Toronto-based parent company.

“If you were able to put in a cameo appearance and say a supporting word, I’m sure it would have an impact on the group and be favourably noted in the press,” Black wrote.

Again, who cares. Black’s pardon is as relevant as his opinions and his lordship. Whats important is his renouncing himself as a Canadian,taking up space in our fine country, and using the NP cons. Rag as his mouthpiece. Without the NP,his story would be a fart in the wind.

May these old whites die of heart attacks soon. 👹✊🏾👁⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

962mm, .306,

I don't know what to make of this... (just watching all this from a parallel universe, and a sucky one at that) .

Punks, both of them !

and Clinton pardoned drug dealers, and money launderers, anybody look into those connections?

mercy, leniency, granted clemency by Trump, aka private Slack Bladder. That's all it means. Have rarely heard such hogwash as the interview with Black on CTV. He has kowtoed to Trump since the start (book, article, news). It's a sham.

Will the still print news stories and columns by Conrad Black that talk about Trump without mentioning that Black has received a pardon and also a free membership at Mar-a-lago from Trump?

His columns in your paper were brown nosing attempts to get a pardon. Your credibility as a decent journalistic outfit is destroyed.

Birds of a feather...

Definitely not unlikely. The writing was always on the wall.

Repulsive duo.

Now, that is an adorable compilation of images. May I have your permission to use it for Christmas cards? Yes, sarcasm.....
