D’Souza was jailed for what people normally got a small fine for doing.

But he dared speak out against the Obamessiah ... and for that he had to be dealt with, severely.

If they could have tossed him in jail for life (like in the other countries) they would have.

Good. Make Liberals scream. If they aren't screaming, there is something wrong with the world. The natural state of life is for Liberals to be screaming and gnashing their teeth in rage.

How about that Missouri governor that got in trouble for using a list to solicit donors. Clinton gets off with major crimes and he is charged with something as small as that. What the hell is going on here?

This is way cool.

For maximum Schadenfreudedal impact POTUS should posthumously pardon Chuck Colson and G. Gordon Liddy. Halderman and Erlichman if you want to see Gallagher maximum brain thought splatter...

Talk about playing Chess.

So the left will whine that Trump let a criminal go, he can shine the spotlight on the Crooked Politically driven Bharara who has hinted at running for public office.

NOTE: Trump fired Preet Bharara.

When did “campaign finance fraud” become a crime in America? Like the liberals say, “Well, EVERYBODY does it!”

Good. This was clearly a political persecution by the Obama administration.
