There are those on the left harping about the pardon of D’Souza because he pled guilty.
He pled guilty because they had him on a technicality and were going to sentence him to a much longer prison sentence, so he pled to a reduced sentence.
Dinesh had no way to know Donald Trump would become President. He was looking at a Hillary presidency and he knew his days in prison could be much longer and much worth with her in the White House because his fellow India nemesis Preet Bharara, the US Attorney that railroaded him, would be promoted and more powerful in a Hillary White House.
The fact that he went to prison at all for a technicality is evidence of political targeting. Most who violate that same statute pay a fine and are done with it. And there are those that violate it much more severely and are never held accountable.
... much worse ...
Cursed are government droids that play such games... cursed indeed.

If they really want to get you they will find a way.
Same with James O'Keefe.
The Lefties have been at this little game for DECADES.
Look at Ollie North, and the "23 indictments" quacking going on now.
