You do realize that if you dropped 100 people into a room and a panel of 20 analyzed each of their lives, likely 100% of them would be found to have broken at least several laws due to the profound & offensive complexity of our regulatory & legal landscape, don't you? Without regard to him allegedly doing it 'knowingly', EVERYBODY in politics tries to skirt campaign finance laws; he just got caught. This article amazingly describes liberal Alan Dershowitz criticizing the conviction & sentence of Conservative D'Souza.
Couple that with complicit prosecution and judges, you have an instant tool of oppression.
Given the public nature of this 'trial', how many other Conservatives have had second thoughts about pursuing a very public fight against the Progs?
This is why the IRS targeting scandal is such a big deal. Those 'emails' likely led to the WH. Now we may never see the truth because this administration is 'lawless' (contrasting with your depiction of D'Souza as a 'lawbreaker')...he may have admitted it, but Dershowitz is right (can't believe I just typed that).
Which reminds me of this:
"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." - Ayn Rand, 'Atlas Shrugged' 1957
Thank you for that post. I was turning over in my head how to word it, and then I read your post.
This guy was using other people to make donations on his behalf. He clearly knew this was illegal. This isn’t some accidental violation of the law.
