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.

"lying to federal agents"

Why wouldn't you lie to lawless thugs? When exactly is the FBI going to get on with the arresting of IRS personnel who are guilty of TRUCKLOADS of egregious felonies?

And their superiors.

And on up the ladder of executive branch command.

After all these years, hasn't she learned that racism beats a denial any day?

Boy of boy, Obama’s Chicago friends and their families are all career crooks and terrorists. How will half the electorate ever explain to their grandchildren how they voted in a person about whom they knew nothing except the color of his skin.

A teeny tiny microscopic bit of a really big iceberg.

Yup...

I'm convinced almost every Grant, Subsidy, Patronage type program with this administration are in fact either bogus democrat money laundry organization or payola scam...

The amount of money raised by these leftist organizations are huge...I know most Americans do not support them, so where are they getting the funds...?

Taxpayers...

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.

The proposal called for 40 people to get training in bricklaying and electrician skills, but the money allegedly was diverted.

$ 1.25 million / 40 trainee = $31,250 per person...

Only a libtard can justify that as a good investment...

A private company can train a bricklayer or journey electrician for far far less...

The criminal class (in this instance the black criminal class) really knows how to dance the jig so as to line their pockets. You just know she’ll get pardoned by Clown Prince nobama.
