SPRINGFIELD—The daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Barack Obama’s 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.

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.

Something smells

The Obama Negro pardon is in the mail.

She might have to wait until the morning of 1/20/2017.

Sounds more like payback from Obama or Obama’s friends.

“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. :-)
