FILE - In a Wednesday, April 6, 2016 file photo, former Massey CEO Don Blankenship is escorted by Homeland Security officers from the Robert C. Byrd U.S. Courthouse in Charleston, W.Va. Blankenship, who was sentenced to a year in jail and a $250,000 fine for his role in the Upper Big Branch Mine explosion, has declared himself an “American political prisoner” on his blog, blaming others for the 2010 mine explosion that killed 29 men and led to the former West Virginia coal operator’s imprisonment. The ex-Massey Energy CEO said he plans to distribute 250,000 copies of the 67-page diatribe in booklet form. (F. Brian Ferguson/Charleston Gazette-Mail via AP, File)
