That was my question. I am guessing it is a minimum security prison, with non-violent offenders only, and possibly with daytime furlough. But that is just a guess. D’Souza seems pretty happy that he got sentenced to this place and not a more traditional prison. I suppose if I was facing the prospect of a year in federal pound-me-in-the-arse prison, I would be happy about this too. We’ll see how he happy he is after his first month.

I don’t like the selective prosecution, but OTOH I am not happy that D’Souza broke the law, It just gives ammunition to our opponents. I have no idea what he was thinking.

...but OTOH I am not happy that D’Souza broke the law...

You do realize that if you dropped 100 people into a room and a panel of 20 analyzed each of their lives, likely 100% of them would be found to have broken at least several laws due to the profound & offensive complexity of our regulatory & legal landscape, don't you? Without regard to him allegedly doing it 'knowingly', EVERYBODY in politics tries to skirt campaign finance laws; he just got caught. This article amazingly describes liberal Alan Dershowitz criticizing the conviction & sentence of Conservative D'Souza.

Couple that with complicit prosecution and judges, you have an instant tool of oppression.

Given the public nature of this 'trial', how many other Conservatives have had second thoughts about pursuing a very public fight against the Progs?

This is why the IRS targeting scandal is such a big deal. Those 'emails' likely led to the WH. Now we may never see the truth because this administration is 'lawless' (contrasting with your depiction of D'Souza as a 'lawbreaker')...he may have admitted it, but Dershowitz is right (can't believe I just typed that).
