Conrad Black on his presidential pardon and relationship with Donald Trump

[@AGTsakumis]

Conrad Black remains one of our greatest public intellectuals, and finest writers. It's a privilege to have meet him thrice.

[@ericjohn5484]

You're just sad

[@ronhenderson1690]

Thanks President Trump for pardoning one of the few real Canadians that's is respected as a journalist and writer in this country. Please ignore the fools that run the federal government. They will be gone and forgotten in 1 year.

[@bipolatelly9806]

Ron Henderson I hope they're not! ("Forgotten" that is.) I expect to be reminded daily. As Truedough and crew fight to stay out of prison. No pardons.

[@macpduff2119]

This interviewer is absolutely rude the way he repeatedly contradicts the reason for the pardon. I'm glad Lord Black is pardoned.

[@tashante]

All of Canadian news anchors are like that to be honest.

[@alex8pearl]

What a wonderful man and he deserves this pardon.Thank you President Trump for doing this.

You are sick

[@Teachering]

I am happy for Mr. Conrad Black. He got a raw deal, no question.

[@jambrenn7843]

Birds of a feather, crooks and crooks.

[@johnyoung631]

Lord Conrad Black is a national treasure.

[@jamesanthony5681]

Yes. A great zircon in the diadem of Canadian discourse.

[@Riptack7591]

You have to admire President Trump. The man is a stand-up individual. A great and positive character. From former drug dealers who reformed to innocent victims of prosecutorial abuse. He will take decisive actions to correct injustice.

[@garythorsell5061]

It seems he did his time so the pardon cleans his record the last guy let crimals out of jail

[@lynnemayotte2231]

This is great news Lord Black. We conservative Canadians realize what a mockery this has been. You need to keep up your health and writing, you are definitely one of our treasures. My grandfather, years and years ago, with another man that ended up betraying him, began the Sherbrooke Record newspaper that you much later bought and then sold. History and the 6 degrees of separation are always so interesting. Thanks for being you and I send greetings and prayers for you and your family.

[@briankearn3965]

Conrad isn't Canadian.

[@barrymcdougal4816]

WHAT ABOUT WIKILEAKS JULIAN ASSANGE ---- HE NEEDS PROTECTION FROM SOMEONE.

[@tonykramps420]

Black was railroaded by a system that stinks. His crime ? Selling his newspaper empire and as part of that sale signing a non compete clause . The buyer paid for him not his company to stay out of the newspaper business for a set period of time.

[@jamesanthony5681]

Wasn't he told NOT to remove any documents from his office(s)? He was then caught on camera removing banker boxes of material, and then claimed afterwards it was personal material that had nothing to do with his trial.

[@northernboy7326]

Don's partisanship clearly showing. Glad to see Mr. Black totally outclassed him.

[@kennethberesh4806]

Congrats Conrad Black.

[@chrislavalley]

I think it's time for Lord Black, now that his dignity has been restored, to negotiate an agreement between Canada and the USA. An agreement that reflects friendship not adversaries.

[@livhicks6892]

What a rude interviewer.

[@cynthiakutra2255]

What an awful interviewer--so rude and suspicious, insinuating ugly things!!!

[@earthprisoner]

I went to jail for pot and now it's legal...I know how he feels!

[@johndicksonkaraoke2554]

Trump should also pardon Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden as well.

[@davidblight3567]

Still a con

[@Salvatore88ish]

You can take Conrad out of jail but you can't take the Con out of Conrad. What a surprise , one crook forgives another. How touching.

[@Jo-ys5le]

who is this BOZO interviewer? I don't like how he tried to change the facts.

[@keswickian1989]

there you have it....a criminal pardons another criminal

[@earthprisoner]

The reporter looks like he should be on a tractor not television, and he keeps probing for a juicy bite, obvious goof.

[@tonytim5105]

He's a drunk, hey.

[@bipolatelly9806]

James Frushon I couldn't give a shit what he looks like. I'm a man. Not a fashion critic. He IS an imbecile tho'. THAT concerns me.

[@MalTheBear64]

$100 it's Snaffle 😎💜

[@heyhandersen5802]

He is still a Lord. It was a smear job, however. Sadly he was sent to jail for years though it gave him a place to write without distractions.

[@Mysterwright]

What would a Canadian need an American pardon for? Pardon for what? What's he into?

[@jamesanthony5681]

That's like the cops saying to someone brought in for questioning, "Why do you need to have a lawyer present if you're innocent?"

[@Salvatore88ish]

In an October 2012 interview, Black intimated that he would rather resign from the order than be removed: "I would not wait for giving these junior officials the evidently almost aphrodisiacal pleasure of throwing me out. I would withdraw", he told CBC's Susan Ormiston. "In fact, I wouldn't be interested in serving."[93] The Governor General of Canada, David Johnston, announced Black's removal from the Order of Canada and his expulsion from the Queen's Privy Council for Canada in January 2014. Johnston had been recommended to do so by the Advisory Council of the Order of Canada and the Canadian Prime Minister.[94][95] As a result, Black may also no longer employ the post-nominal initials OC and PC.[96]
