SPRINGFIELDThe daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Barack Obamas former minister, was convicted by a federal jury Friday of laundering thousands of dollars from a $1.25 million state grant for a Chicago-based job-training program.
Jeri Wright said she would "definitely" appeal the verdict in U.S. District Court, which found her guilty of 11 counts that included money laundering, lying to federal agents and lying to a grand jury.
"I didn't do anything," Wright, 48, of Hazel Crest, said as she left the Springfield courtroom.

Jeri Wright got the WRONG name.
Jeri is NOT w"right" at all .
Small "w" is there on purpose.

So the initiative that Wright and co-defendant Evans were working on (siphoning from) was called “My Brother’s Keeper.”
Interesting isn’t it?
Obama has a ‘new’ initiative with the very same name, as reported in a million places.
Feb 11, 2014 - The My Brother’s Keeper initiative will bring foundations and companies together to test a range of strategies.

The Obama Negro pardon is in the mail. She might have to wait until the morning of 1/20/2017.
The Chicago way.

Seems Democrats just can’t be around a lotta money without it just jumping on them and winding up in their pockets.

“Who is surprised?”
Actually, I am.
I am surprised that this was actually brought to trial. Obviously, this miscarriage of justice will be rectified with a pardon a few days before January 20, 2017 and, coincidentally, a few days before the appeals run out.

Money laundering?. Rev. Wright’s daughter? No, it can’t be, Rev. Wright is so pro-American. :-)
