Remember when Barack Obama vindictively sent his minions after Dinesh S’Souza for having the temerity to expose the Marxist roots of the president’s worldview? DOJ managed to nail the prominent conservative/Christian activist on an unfortunate campaign finance violation, an infraction that is rarely prosecuted, much less punished with a jail term. Unless you’ve offended his excellency that is.
At the time of D’Souza’s indictment NRO published an excellent article by Andrew C. McCarthy analyzing the O’Ministration’s lopsided application of justice: Amnesty, but Not for D’Souza ~
(Dinesh is) not just a harsh critic of progressivism and the academy, but a highly visible Obama detractor. D’Souza is author of The Roots of Obama’s Rage and co-producer of the equally controversial film 2016: Obama’s America. They purport to trace the president’s politics to the Communism and anti-colonialism of his father. While some commentators found the book insightful, it has also been panned, and not just from the left (see, e.g., Andrew Ferguson’s scathing review in The Weekly Standard). Still, it was a big bestseller and, in conjunction with the movie, drew the ire of the White House, where you’d be better off slandering the prophet of Islam than critiquing Obama.
So now the Obama administration has indicted D’Souza for not one but two felony charges, arising out of alleged campaign-finance irregularities. Specifically, he is accused of corruptly reimbursing straw donors to the campaign of Wendy Long, Republican candidate in the New York Senate race — contributions D’Souza could not lawfully make himself because he was already “maxed out” at the $5,000 ceiling. […]
D’Souza has no criminal record. Moreover, contrary to myriad voter-fraud violations that Attorney General Holder will not lift a finger to pursue, the transactions at issue posed no conceivable threat to the integrity of the election process: Ms. Long lost by 46 points. As observed by no less than Harvard’s Alan Dershowitz (an Obama supporter), “This is clearly a case of selective prosecution.” There would, the professor added, be “no room in jails for murderers” if the Justice Department made a practice of such prosecutions.
Recently Bill Whittle at PJTV sat down with D’Souza to get his take on this whole travesty and hear about his incarceration experience. This video is part 1 of a three-part interview; I highly recommend watching all three. These two are a couple of real wise guys – literally and figuratively – so the conversation is entertaining as well as very enlightening ~
