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...
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.
Selective enforcement of said laws become a cudgel to be abused.
Bharaha must have had a real problem with D”Souza’s book, The Roots of Obama’s Rage. You probably do too.
True but beside the real points, in order of relevance to Dinesh D’Souza but not to me, namely:
- 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
- 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.
The only guy ever prosecuted on that charge.
