Also, the judge who gave D'Souza probation is one appointed by Bill Clinton. No doubt if it had been a Republican-appointed judge, that would have been used by Democrats to discredit the 5-years-probation sentence as a corrupt goo-ol-boy Republican free pass.
Most cases like D'Souza's, particularly a first offense where he was helping a friend of 30 years and not buying influence, only result in a fine.
And if D'Souza were a schemer and not one who made an honest mistake, he would have broken the donation into smaller donations of less than $5,000 each, instead of withdrawing the full amount in a single easily detected transaction, and not even consulting an attorney about election laws.
It seems to me that while he technically broke the law, he made a minor mistake, for which he has been disproportionately prosecuted, for intimidation purposes.
He is in good company, with Catherine Englebrecht, Frank Vandersloot and Gibson guitars, all Republican grassroots organizers singled out for the same federal-agency harassment and intimidation.
Consistent with the usual
"come in, find five people and crucify them, the rest will fall into line" punish-our-enemies, reward our friends mentality in Obama's administration.
The same mentality as Lois Lerner, who Eric Holder and other good-ol'-boy Democrats like Rep. Elijah Cummings are deceitfully flying cover for.
