Dinesh D’Souza Prosecutor Floated As Possible Holder Replacement
The Daily Caller ^ | September 26, 2014 | Jamie Weinstein, senior editor

The man who tried to send Dinesh D’Souza to jail for a campaign finance violation is being listed as among the leading candidates to be nominated by President Barack Obama to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder.

Numerous news outlets have named Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, as a possible replacement for Holder.

Listing Bharara as a top contender to replace Holder, Politico’s Playbook said Friday that the pick ”would be a way for Obama to soothe the restless left” because of “his aggressive Wall Street prosecutions.”

Writing for Bloomberg/BusinessWeek, Dave Weigel ranks Bharara as the most likely candidate to be nominated by Obama to be the next attorney general....

He would be a good clone of Holder as he shows he is not above using his office to prosecute conservatives and ignore the liberals’ crimes.

I heard them talking about this guy on Cavuto and no mention of his involvement in D’souza’s political persecution. Looks like he’ll be as awful as Holder.

Well, I guess he’d do (for the Obama regime) as well as others such as the corrupt “prosecutors” conducting the “John Doe investigations” in Wisconsin.

The DemocRATS have many folks who would love to run a Department of INJustice to oppress the Obama regime enemies.

The first Indian DOJ.

And the first one who's first name sounds like a fart.

They haven’t cared about appearances since November 7, 2008.

Does anyone know what D'Souza actually did?

Is this a phony case, or did D'Souza actually break the law?

He must have a lawyer. I haven't come across anything anywhere that attempts to make his side of the case, or put up any sort of defense in public.

If he actually broke the law, I really have not much sympathy for him.

I know the Democrats play hardball, and that they break campaign laws with impunity, but to give them a way to get you? Dumb.

Probably a payoff for a job well done against Dinesh D’Souza, but I suppose he couldn't be any worse than Kamala Harris.

... except for the fact that he's probably lots smarter than Kamala Harris, that is.

There’s nothing that says the Attorney General (or a Supreme Court Justice, for that matter) has to be a lawyer.

who's first name sounds like a fart.

Keep his first name and it'd sound like a two-tone; those are the kind that I relish with great pride.

The money was his property and he has the right to dispose of his property as he sees fit.
