UPDATE: The filmmaker behind "2016: Obama's America" was briefly handcuffed during his arraignment in New York on charges he violated campaign finance laws in 2012. D’Souza’s bail was set at $500,000 and he was released after promising that one financially responsible person would sign “a personal recognizance bond” within a week.

Sneak Preview!
Dear God! I had no idea the poor guy had been handcuffed and jailed. How awful. Well, he’ll really be heading off to India now. I thought he had gone awhile ago. He had threatened.
Somebody must have ratted him out. I wonder if he knows the identity of the rat.
ah ,maybe it’s the real reason for his arrest
$500,000?! Some murderers don’t have bail that high.
They cuffed Dinesh??!!
Whoa.
Well, they had to ...... him being such a menace to society and all.

Blatant police state. We’ve already crossed the line. Not just with this incident, but with several recent events. Not a free country anymore.
I do not believe the “authorities” have any proof of laws being violated. I believe this is a rattle-the-cage arrest.
I see Valerie Jarrett’s hand in this. She promised to punish people who opposed Obama.
D’Souza’s lawyer did not exactly give a ringing endorsement for his innocence.
The following text and quotes are from the “Hot Air” website:
But his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, released a statement to reporters saying that D’Souza’s efforts to help a friend running for the Senate in 2012 was “at most” an “act of misguided friendship.”
“Mr. D’Souza did not act with any corrupt or criminal intent whatsoever,” Brafman said in the statement. “He and the candidate have been friends since their college days, and “at worst, this was an act of misguided friendship by D’Souza. . .It is important to note that the indictment does not allege a corrupt relationship between Mr. D’Souza and the candidate.”
The indictment did not name the Senate candidate in the case. But it appears to be Wendy Long (R), who lost overwhelmingly in 2012 to incumbent Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat. Long raised less than $1 million for her long-shot campaign.
“
2016 made a big enough splash that D’Souza was able to get Gray Frederickson to co-produce, “America”, D’Souza’s new film.
Gray Frederickson won an Oscar for Best Film with his epic film, “Godfather Part II”.
He could not as for better advertising for his new book. A book so FORBIDDEN that the Government wants to LOCK YOU UP!!! Now, I’m even more intriqued. I hope he collects his money, then moves out of the US till O takes a hike. Dinesh is as popular as safe as Eric Snowden right now.
