Dinesh D'Souza indictment
Andrew McCarthy noted about the Obama Justice Department indictment of Dinesh D'Souza:
- "Yet there were patent mitigating circumstances, starting with the fact that few people actually get prosecuted at all for this offense. Even in the case of gargantuan violations, such as the Obama 2008 campaign’s own millions of dollars in illicit contributions, the Justice Department allows cases to be settled with an administrative fine. Furthermore, in the few cases that are pursued criminally, there is unvaryingly a corruption angle — the donor is dodging the limits in the expectation of a quid pro quo.
- "In D’Souza’s case, there was nothing of the kind: He was trying to be supportive of a friend who had no chance to win."[1]
President Trump gave D'Souza a full pardon on May 31, 2018, citing D'Souza's unfair treatment by the U. S. Government.[2]
