Obama threw Dinesh D'souza into prison on a trumped up campaign finance charge that had seldom been prosecuted, and no one had been incarcerated solely because of it before.
D'souza made a film critical of Obama, and was critical of him in debates.
For that, the Department of Injustice went after him.
You're correct - when Democrats get into power again, the soft persecution will grow hard and bloody.
That’s absolutely coming. While we have time, we need to pray, spread the gospel, and worship in freedom as long as we can, because we still be seeing a persecution of Christians like never before in this country. Watch and pray, because our redemption draws nigh.
