Are you suggesting that there wasn’t even a “smidgeon” of political motivation behind this prosecution? For the past few years we have seen ample examples that speaking out against this administration is likely to prompt unwanted scrutiny and/or harassment. For Democrats, politics is blood sport and they play to win at all costs. They are not ambivalent about criticism; political retribution is their stock in trade.
Yes he hid what he was doing and he got caught. But I suspect that there was great prosecutorial enthusiam and satisfaction in certain quarters, and no hesitation to spend a significant, if not disproportional, amount of money to nail him.

No, not at all, partisan politics could very easily be involved.
But this isn’t a case of someone having their rights violated by a Lois Lerner. This isn’t a case of someone who unknowingly violated an obscure rule and who was hounded by a vindictive prosecutor.
Dinesh D’Souza knew from the very start that he was breaking the law. That’s why he tried to hide what he was doing.
Dinesh had worked hard to make himself a high visibility opponent of the Obama regime. A wise person would know to keep his nose clean when he’s playing hardball with the big boys. But not Dinesh D’Souza.
IMO he shares a trait with Obama, he’s self-important and thinks the rules don’t apply to him. Well Obama is in a position where he’s been getting away with it. D’Souza didn’t. D’Souza did some things in his past that inflicted a serious cost on a conservative writer he didn’t like. Karma can be a bitch.
