D'Souza Blasts 'Deceitful' Bharara: He Led a 'Political Prosecution' Against Me
Fox News ^ | March 13, 2017 | D'Souza

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is not upset about President Donald Trump ( forcing U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara out of office.)

That’s because Bharara, who ran the Southern District office in New York, prosecuted D’Souza for felony election fraud in 2014, which led to a plea bargain and a sentence of eight months in federal prison.

Bharara was portrayed by some as a political martyr because he was “fired” after he refused the Trump administration’s request to resign along with the remaining 45 Obama appointees in the U.S. Attorney slots.

On "Fox & Friends" this morning, D'Souza ripped Bharara as a "ruthless and very deceitful" prosecutor, who went after him with a purely "political prosecution."

D'Souza was a political prisoner...Obama's. Bharara is a nasty little piece of work.

Ahhh, so that’s why. Plus why was this guy dragging his feet in regards to the Clinton crime syndicate? Clear, CLEAR cut evidence of a pay to play scheme using the Clinton money laundering foundation yet he goes after D’Souza in an instant.

Bharara made Dinesh and his mistress break the law? How did he do that? Did he put a gun to their heads?

Selective enforcement of politics. The hypocrisy alone is stunning in that he went after D’Souza for a 20K campaign donation and is totally quiet on Clinton money laundering?

Break the law? LOL! This is a law which doesn't exist except for democratic administrations to prosecute political enemies. Democrats who did the exact same thing were not even charged, let alone prosecuted.

A classic example of law which is put in place in order for a Tyrant to abuse via selective enforcement.

The 0bama administration used every sleazy tactic at its disposal. If Dinesh D'Souza didn't oppose 0bama's corrupt Democrat machine, he never would have been charged with such a whimsical crime. arbitrary law is, well, arbitrary.

You need to educate yourself about D'Souza's "crime" and the subsequent psychological "re-orientation" he was forced to undergo. The use of the legal system to persecute political opponents is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes:

"D’Souza admitted to illegally reimbursing two ‘straw donors’ who donated $10,000 each to the unsuccessful 2012 U.S. Senate campaign in New York of Wendy Long, a Republican he had known since attending Dartmouth College in the early 1980s."

Laws which exist only to be selectively enforced against political enemies are overtly Tyrannical, and do not fulfill the Constitution's intent to "establish Justice". Somebody show me a single case during 0bama's 8 year administration of this law being enforced against a Democrat.

The only reason such laws even exist is due to unconstitutional laws limiting campaign contributions, which, to reiterate, are solely intended for selective enforcement by the Regime against political enemies.

Felony, schmelony...

The dems are hypocrites who love to destroy good people. I don’t know how they can look in the mirror. Dinesh is a good man & what he did to him was just so wrong.

This, exactly. He went after D’Souza with guns blazing for a $20K mistake while the Clintons hijacked billions, with a “B” via their phony Foundation. D’Souza ended up doing actual prison time. Unheard of for a first time offender in a non violent crime.

Bahara was supposed to be conducting an investigation of the Clinton Foundation under the RICO statute.

A better fit would be hard to find.

Mr President if your team is lurking...

It is time to Pardon Denesh D'Sousa, and while your at it G. Gordon Liddy, Chuck Colson Posthumously for all the good work he did with inmates and making a positive impact on their lives, and Scooter Libby for good measure. I'd also pardon Tim Allen the comedian as he is a conservative, he has cleaned up his act, done some significant works of charity and is clean and sober and would like to be a firearms enthusiast.

Trump sure does have a way with smokin’ ‘em out. Now Ryan is going to find out just like Preet did that you don’t backstab the Trumpster.

Are you asserting that D'Sousa was convicted of a crime of violence involving a firearm? I've never seen any reference to him being made to break the law, simply that he was prosecuted and incarcerated for a technical violation of campaign finance laws that nobody else has ever gone to jail for.

You apparently have knowledge of the case that I'm not familiar with. I'd be grateful if you could let me know your sources.

We have made unconstitutional laws covering virtually every human interaction, particularly those that involve money, power and politics.

Selective enforcement of said laws become a cudgel to be abused.

This weemny Preet can pretend to be a man of honor, but his selective prosecution of D’Souza completely discredits him as a globalist apparatchik.
His support will only go as far as the fake-stream media and the Leftists. If they try to portray him as a victim, people will always counter with D’Souza.

Bharaha must have had a real problem with D”Souza’s book, The Roots of Obama’s Rage. You probably do too.

I hope Mr. Trump pardons Dinesh. That prosecutor pushed for a sentence that others didn’t receive when they committed a similar crime.

True but beside the real points, in order of relevance to Dinesh D’Souza but not to me, namely:
  1. Nobody else who violated that “law” got nearly the punishment meted out to D’Souza, and hardly any other violators of that “law” got any punishment at all, and

  2. The “law” in question - “campaign finance reform” generally - is a blatant violation of the Constitution. These laws exist because journalists favor them. And journalists favor them because they establish “the MSM” as either a nobility or a religious priesthood. McCain-Feingold in particular explicitly establishes existing journalism outlets with rights to be denied to we-the-people.

    D’Souza contributed $20,000 to the senate campaign of a personal long-time friend. How much did The New York Times spend opposing that candidate? Did the Times have a title of nobility which entitled it to do what D’Souza was forbidden to do - or was the Times a member of a priesthood legally entitled to do what D’Sousa legally could not?

    “Campaign Finance Reform” can be made to sound good - but it is pure unconstitutional elitism.
