Another example of malicious prosecution is of Conrad Black, who Trump just pardoned 2 days ago. Anywhere else in the media, it is portrayed as a corrupt act for Trump to pardon Conrad Black, that Trump just pardoned him because Black wrote a book and many editorials in praise of Trump's presidency.
But that ignores that a lot of famous people have called Black's conviction an injustice and called for his pardon throughout the W.Bush, Obama and Trump years, that Trump finally granted.
It appears to be another example of over-eagerness by U.S. attorneys to convict Black.
Some of the people who have called for Black's pardon are Alan Dershowitz, Elton John, the late William F. Buckley and Rush Limbaugh.

While there is some controversy, the U.S. Supreme Court at one point voted 9-0 for the lower court to review their upholding of the Black conviction.

But to look at any mainstream liberal media coverage it's a straight-up case of one corrupt guy (President Trump) giving a pardon with no legal justification to another corrupt guy (Conrad Black) just because Black wrote a book stroking Trump's ego and lauding his presidency. Media coverage that ignores the many split rulings and prominent individuals calling Black's conviction an injustice, who brought it to Trump's legal team, who reviewed Black's case and urged Trump to pardon Black.

 Quote:
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has pardoned a former media baron and onetime business partner convicted of fraud and obstruction of justice charges. In granting a pardon Wednesday to Lord Conrad Black, Trump cited “broad support from many high-profile individuals who have vigorously vouched for his exceptional character,” the White House said in a statement.

Black, 74, who controlled the newspaper chain Hollinger International, was convicted in 2007 and sentenced to 6½ years in prison. He served more than two years of his term but was freed on bail after the U.S. Supreme Court narrowed the reach of a federal law that gave prosecutors the authority to bring cases against executives who deprive companies of their “honest services.” The justices then ordered the lower courts to take another look at the conviction of Black, a Canadian who took British citizenship.

In 2011, a federal judge ordered Black to return to prison for about a year on top of the 29 months he already has served on charges of fraud and obstruction of justice. He was released in 2012.

Black has also written books and columns expressing his conservative views. Last year, he wrote the book, “Donald J. Trump: A President Like No Other.” In it, he describes Mr. Trump as “a good deal more ethical and honest than many other businessmen and corporate directors I have known.”
