I’m glad he didn’t have to go to prison, but the other terms of his conviction are unreasonable.

... especially when the prosecution essentially lied to the judge when presenting “comparable” cases for sentencing purposes.

“For the first eight months of his probation term, D’Souza will have to live in a “community confinement center” in San Diego, ordered Judge Richard Berman, who also fined D’Souza $30,000 and directed him to undergo “therapeutic counseling.” D’Souza will also have to perform one day per week of community service during his probation term”

Ridiculous

I wonder if it was because he stated he was going to write another book in prison focusing on the experience. His books have a tendency to be bestsellers. Heck, I'd buy it.

While Lois Lerner is already on her “rehabilitation program”, after not having had any repercussions for her flagrant law-breaking. Same with Harry Reid, et al.

And yet, Lois Lerner and all those other scumbags remain free. What a screwed up country we live in.

For violating “campaign finance laws,” all of which are unconstitutional.

This is criminal. He is not insane, nor a threat to the public... his crime is give $15,000 too much to a non-democrat party candidate.

This should spark some type of legal action and political debate. If America is to start interning political opposition and then be forced to undergo therapeutic counseling for their political beliefs, we are in deep trouble; the 8 hours of community service is also excessive.

If D’Souza is as smart as I think he is, he’ll see it as an opportunity to research leftist indoctrination techniques which will be the subject of his future works.

Charlie Trie got 3 years probation and four months confinement. Only thing is, Charlie Trie was guilty.
