in one of our last calls, i asked Rufus how it all felt. “I have been rejected at times. I’m kind of used to that rejection,” he told me. My heart kinda broke again. This is Rufus’ story: https://t.co/OlarU2kjxV — PolitiTweet.org

A new president is in office, and why that may seem good for Rufus' chances, in reality, it's complicated. He may have to go back to prison when covid ends. It could take years/months for Biden to act, if he acts on this specific case at all. — PolitiTweet.org

I called Rufus last week. A preternaturally positive human being, for the first time I could detect a pang of sorrow in his voice. “I’m doing everything that’s right,” he said, “even on the outside.” — PolitiTweet.org
Sam Stein @samstein
On Trump's last day in office, Black wrote an email to Jared Kushner on Rufus’ behalf: "knowing the facts of this case as I do, as a friend of Rufus… I dare to try to put this before you.” Kushner never replied. The final pardons were issued. Rufus was not on the list — PolitiTweet.org

I called Rufus again in December, when two associates of Conrad Black's got pardons from Trump. “I’m expecting it tonight,” he told me. It broke my heart. The pardon/clemency for him never came. — PolitiTweet.org

Rufus has to wear an ankle bracelet. He can go as far as the edge of the front yard before triggering the device. He has to clear any travel with sponsors on the Sunday night before the week begins. Clemency would let him live without these constraints, among other things. — PolitiTweet.org

On the outside, Rufus has done advocacy work for prisoners endangered by Covid. He even spoke, via Zoom, before Nancy Pelosi about it. But, still, no clemency. — PolitiTweet.org
Sam Stein @samstein
His next stop was the gravesite of his biological father, a complicated man with a drinking problem who went to see Rufus in prison months before he died to make amends (Conrad Black and Rufus prayed together after that). — PolitiTweet.org
Sam Stein @samstein
Rufus, instead, eventually got out because of COVID fears. His first stop after 32 years behind bars was a Boston Market. “I thought it was a supermarket,” he said. “I didn’t realize it was a restaurant. It was extremely good.” — PolitiTweet.org
Sam Stein @samstein
But it never happened, even after Black (already out of prison) was pardoned by Trump in 2019, Rufus never got clemency. He was 69 and with 9 or years left in a 40 year sentence with no chance of parole. — PolitiTweet.org
Sam Stein @samstein
He was the perfect subject for the piece: an exemplary record in prison and a friendship with a famous Trump booster, Conrad Black. On top of that, there was doubt that he committed the crime he was charged for. Advocates thought he represented the ideal case for clemency. — PolitiTweet.org

Indulge me on (another) thread about Rufus Rochell. I first got to know Rufus when I went looking for a prisoner to profile early in the Trump years, when the presumption was that the then president would continue a tough-on-crime posture. https://t.co/OlarU2kjxV — PolitiTweet.org

Rufus Rochell checked all the right boxes for clemency: an exemplary record in prison, advocacy out of it, and a friendship with a famous Trump booster, Sir Conrad Black. So why didn’t he get it? — PolitiTweet.org
