In a decision likely to be framed by conservative media as a vindictive abuse of power, filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was sentenced Tuesday to eight months in a confinement center and five years probation after pleading in May that he was guilty of violating campaign finance laws.
D'Souza's movies, America this year and two years earlier, 2016: Obama's America, are critical of the left and in the case of the first one, President Barack Obama and they are among the most successful political documentaries in history. D'Souza was indicted in January after he promised his then-fiancee and his former assistant that if they each donated $10,000 to the campaign of a friend who was running for the U.S. Senate he would then reimburse them.
The FBI said D'Souza's arrest stemmed from a routine investigation while his supporters and even some legal experts who disagree with his politics, such as attorney Alan Dershowitz accused authorities of targeting the filmmaker for political retribution. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas argued that it was "a remarkably selective prosecution considering Obama raised millions of dollars under similar circumstances."
D'Souza himself has also insinuated that he was the victim of political retribution. In a scene in America, for example, he appears in a prison cell and says, "We don't want to live in a society where Lady Justice has one eye open and winks at her friends, and casts the evil eye at her adversaries." (See that two-minute scene exclusively above). Plus, D'Souza recently tweeted a picture of his Facebook page's 350,000 "likes" with the text, "The Obama campaign to shut me up: Is it working?"

Thank you very much.
No mention of voter fraud in a national election by these cretans who are out to get conservatives, I thought so
Hello, this is Dinesh, how may I help you?
He should have just stolen “TOP” classified 911 documents, it’s only a 10k fine.
Chris Dodd and Bawney Fwank brought down the housing market and our economy. Same punishment as the rat Rangle.
This is ridiculous!
Jesus Christ: You cant impeach Him and He aint going to resign.
Upside down 0bolaland BizarroWorld.
I love that. That would make a great t-shirt.
Political prisoner....
Indeed.
Yep.
And their good buddy resides in the WH.
He says of his confinement of 8 months - they will all be republicans by the end of it.

Dinesh DSouza RESPONDS to his sentencing and hes very happy about it
http://therightscoop.com/dinesh-dsouza-responds-to-his-sentencing-and-hes-very-happy-about-it/
Dinesh DSouza is happy tonight with the sentence he got and feels like hes won a victory over those who were trying to put him in jail and put him out of business:
He appeared on “The Kelly File” tonight and appeared relieved by the sentence - it’s not a prison - more like a halfway house - says he’ll be teaching English to immigrant kids as community service, which he’ll enjoy - will also be able to work on his book and produce his movie for the 2016 election - all in all apparently not a bad outcome.....-
Dinesh spoke at our tea party last week; I got a few private minutes with him. He’s already working on another movie, slated to be released shortly before the election.
That may be why they wanted to jail him - - to shut him down.
Meanwhile, Lois is just doing fine......
Our justice system is inverted and corrupt.
Debate: Atheists vs Christians (Krauss + Shermer vs D'Souza + Hutchinson)
Had ENOUGH Yet ?
Some are “more equal” than others-— Animal Farm.
That Lerner interview was absolutely sick— what a whore, and doing the “poor me” victim routine. She is an apparatchik— about like watching Ethel Rosenberg play weepy eyes and try to make people forget she was part of a two man Communist spy team.
Wah, wah, wah Lerner. Someone should be getting to you soon.
And he’s still there or incommunicado. Something happens to you from this bunch and the reply has to be screaming loud to what sheep media will respond. Is to say the few who would let the world know.
This gov does not fear the people.
