Conservative writer/filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza was spared prison time today when a federal judge sentenced him to five years probation for violating campaign finance laws....

“therapeutic counseling.”

Are those re-education camps in China still open? Maybe Jack Ma is importing those too?

"“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”."




I think I'll try to learn the address of this facility to go visit him.

He says of his confinement of 8 months - they will all be republicans by the end of it.

He does get time on Fox News.

And he did again, see video at 103

He might then think it's about him.

Sigh, that cannot have been a prediction you'd have liked to see come true; but it sure seems that's his inclination in that 4 minute video.

He's all smiles as he lists the benefits to him.
He exhibits no remorse at the precedent he has helped cement in place.
Statists Knowingly Undermining our Nation's Constitution would smile for reasons unmentioned by Ms. Kelley.

I'd hate to calculate the likelihood how this performance is not positively brazen and in our face because I don't expect a good result.

[Avoiding_Sulla]

Ooops! He pleaded guilty! What was I thinking? Any appeal (and chance for a heroic stance against this tyranny) would have been in defense of a failed not-guilty plea. So I guess heroics is hardly the right thought to have had in the first place. My bad. Sorry.

What goes around, comes around.

Dinesh D’Souza played a big role in getting Sam Francis fired from the Washington Times back in 1995 which greatly damaged Francis’ career.

D’Souza was an oily opportunist in the mold of David Frum and as far as I’m concerned his troubles are poetic justice.

[USARightSide]

He also intends to teach English.

I have a photo with him when he came to Ventura County - gosh, when - about 2 years or so ago??
Someone I know was able to get her church’s permission to have D’Sousa come and show his film in the church’s 1,000 seat auditorium, with discussion after. Every seat was filled.

“I tried to find out more about the divorce. I can’t find any mention of the ex-wife’s claim. He evidently was seeing another woman before the divorce,”

He was, and it got him fired from a Christian college:

“Dinesh D’Souza has resigned as the president of The King’s College (TKC), the Manhattan school’s board of trustees announced Thursday.

“The decision comes after World magazine reported Tuesday that D’Souza was engaged to Denise Odie Joseph II while still legally married to his wife of 20 years, Dixie, and that the couple had allegedly checked into a hotel room together during a Christian conference last month.

[Pelham]

D’Souza has always had a streak where he thinks it’s all about him. This isn’t new. It’s just becoming noticed by more people.

He’s not a great conservative hero. He has a history of using conservatives for his own ends that goes back decades.

You should try it! If we were still there, I'd go with you!

This whole situation is ridiculous!

[onyx]

Aha! Congrats! You’ve relocated!

[onyx]

Oh wow! Thank you so much!!!

He also intends to teach English.

You know, that is just awesome. Because in the process of teaching English he can use some our most cherished values and work ethic as examples. He can instill the concept of the proper form of government into those illiterate and misdirected minds. The powers that be may well rue the day that they decided to zing him with that little institutional gotcha after all. ~evil laugh~ I mean, that is exactly what I would do in that situation, but then I am a professional educator. Twenty five years in the classroom. In class right now, as a matter of fact, waiting for the opening bell to ring and it's pouring outside. LOL

[CAluvdubya]

And we love it here! Every day I marvel at the restrictions we put up with in CA that are nonexistent in NV.

I'd forgotten just how (and expensive!)CA is.

[unixfox]

Boy, they sure went after him fast. Got it over real quick.

Now, why isn’t Lois Lerner in jail?

[Albion Wilde]

Thank you, LORD!

On the other hand, Holder, Inc probably didn't want a man of D'Souza's intelligence and communications skills to observe what is going on in the prisons, especially the aggressive muslim prosetylzation gangs.

[Albion Wilde]

I'd like to know whether the ex-wife brought up any of these charges before this hearing. Did she bring the charges up in her divorce? He just doesn't seem like a violent man. I'd have to have more proof than an ex-wife’s statement to believe the charges she is making.

I'm usually the first to side with an abused wife; but I'd have to agree with you here. If he did use his "purple belt" skills on her, it could have been self-defense. He is not a beefy guy.

[Albion Wilde]

Killer Never Spent One Day in Jail...

Neither did Teddy Kennedy, for DUI manslaughter.

[ColdSteelTalon]

He plead guilty

[fwdude]

Isn’t he appealing the conviction?
