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....

So the Gov. lawyer that lied and gave the presiding Judge trumped up information for sentencing may be the next AG? Sounds about right in Odunga’s World.

He admits he broke the law...at least in the spirit of it...claims it was a dumb mistake...

If he was a democrat, it would be overlooked like the thousands of other democrats who did the exact same thing....make a straw donation in a other person’s name...

There were trying to lock him away for 16 months to keep him from making another film before the 2016 elections....

In Omoeba’s world, your property is not your property. You are the custodian at the consent of Jughead’s henchmen.

I know, it's terrible, it's unfair, the law is unconstitutional, I agree, the Democrats get away with much worse every election cycle, but honestly.

D'Souza's not a young man (he's 53). He's been involved with conservative politics since he was at Dartmouth, if not before.

How could he not have known that he would be under extra scrutiny, especially after showing that he was an effective media advocate for Conservatism?

I mean, it's one thing for them to come after us over phony trumped-up nonsense. But to give them a lever to tip you over, when you've been around politics for at least thirty years? It makes me angry at D'Souza.

Breitbart gone. Now D'Souza (effectively) gone.

That's the part that puzzles me as well...

Having done massive research on the left and the progressive movement he had to know they will stoop to any level to attack and neutralize you...Shut you up by any means possible...

Now D'Souza (effectively) gone.

I doubt it...

I certainly hope you're right. But his conviction will be used to cast a shadow over everything he does.

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.

Stuart Varney and Judge Napolitano covered this topic earlier on the Fox Business Network on Varney & Company when news of Holder's resignation first broke.
