Senators Demand FBI Head Answer Questions About Indictment of Dinesh D'Souza

Weekly Standard ^ | 2/21/14 | DANIEL HALPER

[Nachum]

Four United States Senators have a written a letter to FBI director James Comey about the indictment of author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza. Senators Charles Grassley, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Jeff Sessions, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee are the four senators, all Republicans, to have signed the letter.

The letter quotes Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz as saying, "I can't help but think that [D'Souza's] politics have something to do with it. ... It smacks of selective prosecution."

And, the senators write, "To dispel this sort of public perception that Mr. D'Souza may have been targeted because of his outspoken criticisms of the President, it is important for the FBI to be transparent regarding the precise origin of this investigation."

The senators provide a dozen direct questions for the FBI director to answer. "To explain the details of these routine reviews and provide context to those who may be skeptical of the origins of this investigation, please provide answers to the following questions regarding FBI's regular review of campaign files:

There is no more blatant indication that neither party has Americans’ interests at heart is that very point you make ... a true opposition party would not be winking and nodding at the IRS as the overwhelming evidence that the org is being used to squelch the regime’s ‘enemies’. And yet the Congress is more than willing to let that same thuggish brownshirt org run the ‘enforcement’ of the obamacare fascism!

Point is, the Democrats are not strong enough to say outright “We’re doing this for political reasons.”

[left that other site]

Yes Indeed.

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. The case was then adjourned until March 4. D'Souza spent six hours at the courthouse and was briefly handcuffe

I think you meant to put a “not” in there...

"This wasn’t political.
Nor was having the IRS audit Sarah Palin’s Dad. Repeatedly.
Nor was the IRS audit of the guy with lung cancer who criticized Obamacare.
Or the raid of Gibson Guitar.
Or phone-tapping Congress, or Merkel.
Or ..."

Remember Dr. Ben Carson's negative critique of Obamacare during the Prayer Breakfast with Obama sitting next to him, taking notes? COINCIDENTALLY, Dr. Carson says HE WAS AUDITED BY THE IRS RIGHT AFTER THAT. I wonder if Obama's notes consisted of "have Dr. Ben Carson audited"???

You're onto something here.. I see a thread, listing 'political persecutions by Obama' on the horizon!

Throughout history, political persecutions have led to civil wars. Although, none of those wars were very, "civil."

"To dispel this sort of public perception that Mr. D'Souza may have been targeted because of his outspoken criticisms of the President, it is important for the FBI to be transparent regarding the precise origin of this investigation."

May? May have been targeted? Because of his criticisms of Obama? Gimme a break.

The FBI and IRS (targeting Ben Carson) are going after high profile conservatives because it intimidates citizens. The IRS and FBI know the MSM will pick up on these stories and scare the bejeezus out of everyone..

[Carry me back]
