Dinesh D’Souza indicted for campaign finance fraud

January 23, 2014

 Dinesh D’Souza has been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for campaign finance fraud; he allegedly paid people to donate money to the campaign of Wendy Long when she was running for the Senate in 2012 after he had donated the maximum amount allowed under the law.

  First let me say that if he is indeed guilty of this crime he deserves to go to jail. But one has to wonder if this is politically motivated, after all last year he produced an anti-Obama movie entitled ‘2016.’ Could this be retribution, his co-producer thinks so:

Insiders say D’Souza has been friends with Long since they attended Dartmouth College together in the early 1980s. According to the indictment, D’Souza donated $20,000 to Long’s campaign by aggregating the money from various people and falsely reporting the source of the funds. But Gerald Molen, a co-producer of 2016, says the charge is politically motivated.

“In America, we have a long tradition of not doing what is commonly done in too many other countries — criminalizing dissent through the selective enforcement of the law,” Molen tells THR.

  I hate the fact that this thought even crossed my mind but there is good reason to be skeptical about these charges for it is not without precedence. This president has used the IRS to target political opponents in the past and this regime has also instituted ‘Operation Choke Point’ in an attempt to harass and intimidate bankers so, in my humble opinion, this is not beyond the realm of possibility. Barack Obama has a history of criminalizing his opponents and it is possible this is the latest example. Stay tuned…..

    An interesting find, Steve. An indictment doesn’t make him quilty; but it does mean the grand jury felt there was sufficient eveidence to send the case to trial. I agree that this admistration….. people like Jarrett and Holder would not be above falsifying evidence. If Disouza is found not quilty, I’m afraid only we conservatives and posibly Fox News will make an issue of it. These people are above the law.

      If D’Souza is guilty it will be splashed all over the news, if he is found innocent…..not so much. We have seen this game too many times before.

    Yeah, here in these United States we don’t take kindly to violating our election laws. Bringing a truncheon to the polling place, voting more than once, busing illegals to the polls and disinterring the dead on Election Day is one thing but donating too much money to a candidate who had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning is quite another thing damn it!

    Perhaps he broke the law (perhaps not) however I think it’s pretty clear this was politically motivated and was done in an effort to silence critics. In reality, of course, it won’t do anything of the sort.
