D’souza is being indicted by the feds which means a 90% conviction rate. This will be acheived via witness tampering, jury intimidation, and fake documents. This is despite the fact that the “persecutors” must prove intent to commit fraud by a reasonable doubt.
There is no question that we are in a police state and hardening tyranny. The US has an incarceration rate that exceeds all nations. We are at 743/100,000! China is 120-218, Canada is 117. Even adjusting for more minorities compared to Canada, I’m sure that this is still way out if line. The reason is longer sentencing.

What the regime is doing is taking a “tough on crime” meme and using it against their political opponents and potential opponents. This is absolutely sickening and will not stop until the people are roused out of their coma.
IMHO the correct defense is to contest the constitutionality of the law(s) in question. Campaign finance laws presume to draw a distinction between “the press” and “the people.” That is, between people who own presses, and people who don’t own a press yet.The Roberts Court hasn’t ruled on CFR yet - and McConnell v. FEC was a 5-4 ruling with Justice Kennedy in the minority. Get agreement from Alito and Roberts, hold Kennedy, Scalia, and Thomas, and you are home free.
Revolt is coming.
Yet a supporter of John Edwards gets off on lesser charges.
It actually looks like he committed the ‘crime’.
What’s significant is that others doing so have got a slap on the wrist at best. D’Souza’s being treated like the guy with the Benghazi film trailer.
