Dinesh D'Souza is a conservative here in the U.S. who was pardoned by President Trump and I'm thrilled about it. I began listening to this awesome individual Dinesh D'Souza and he has a handle on what is happening in the U.S. I'd encourage people to find out what is actually going on here in the U.S. that is not being reported on our main stream media. Christianity and other freedoms not only here in the U.S. are being slowly taken away using political correctness.

Apparently Mr. D'Souza made 2 movies and wrote a few books about America and they were not appreciated by the Political Correctness police. For that reason alone I'd encourage Christians to look into it. Be blessed.

D'Souza's conviction was for violating campaign finance law that limits how much an individual can donate to a single candidate's campaign. Basically he donated additional funds to campaigns using using straw men (making donations in other person's names). No, it isn't a crime of violence but if Obama had done the same thing for a liberal supporter, there would have been an uproar from the conservative side of the aisle.

I do not like D'Souza, but even Alan Dershowitz thought the prosecution trumped up his charges.

May 31, 2018 A Worthy Pardon for Dinesh D’Souza
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/dinesh-dsouza-pardon-just/


“
D’Souza was (and is) a strident anti-Obama critic. He committed a trivial campaign-finance
violation. This is not to excuse the conduct; it is to reaffirm the principle that the punishment
should fit the crime, and to observe that the conduct at issue is typically not treated as a crime
at all. Routinely, misconduct of the kind engaged in by D’Souza is settled by payment of an
administrative fine to the Federal Election Commission.


In stark contrast, the Obama Justice Department not only selectively prosecuted D’Souza;
prosecutors turned the case into a multiple felony indictment.

I'm glad you posted this because I watched D'Souza on a news program explaining his arrest but it wasn't handy to find right away. So much information out there it's like a sea of 1000s of reports that take a much more detailed person than I to find. D'Souza really annoyed Obama by interviewing his family specifically his brothers who he doesn't have much of a relationship with. One of them was living in poverty at the time he was interviewed.

What we need to do is compare D'souza's minor infraction ($20,000 which he reimbursed) with Hillary Clinton being funded illegally, and getting away with it.

The Committee to Defend the President has filed an FEC complaint against Hillary Clinton's campaign, Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic state parties and Democratic mega-donors.

As Fox News reported, we documented the Democratic establishment "us[ing] state chapters as straw men to circumvent campaign donation limits and launder(ing) the money back to her campaign." The 101-page complaint focused on the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) — the $500 million joint fundraising committee between the Clinton campaign, DNC, and dozens of state parties — which did exactly that the Supreme Court declared would still be illegal.

HVF solicited six-figure donations from major donors, including Calvin Klein and "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, and routed them through state parties en route to the Clinton campaign. Roughly $84 million may have been laundered in what might be the single largest campaign finance scandal in U.S. history...

...On top of that, six-figure donations either never actually passed through state party accounts or were never actually under state party control, which adds false FEC reporting by HVF, state parties, and the DNC to the laundry list.

Finally, as Donna Brazile and others admitted, the DNC placed the funds under the Clinton campaign's direct control, a massive breach of campaign finance law that ties the conspiracy together.

Democratic donors, knowing the funds would end up with Clinton's campaign, wrote six-figure checks to influence the election — 100 times larger than allowed.

HVF bundled these megagifts and, on a single day, reported transferring money to all participating state parties, some of which would then show up on FEC reports filed by the DNC as transferring the exact same dollar amount on the exact same day to the DNC. Yet not all the state parties reported either receiving or transferring those sums.

Did any of these transfers actually happen? Or were they just paper entries to mask direct transfers to the DNC?

For perspective, conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was prosecuted and convicted in 2012 for giving a handful of associates money they then contributed to a candidate of his preference — in other words, straw man contributions. He was sentenced to eight months in a community confinement center and five years of probation. How much money was involved? Only $20,000. HVF weighs in at $84 million — more than 4,000 times larger!

It is clear that D'Souza was targeted by Obama because he is a conservative, not for his paltry $20,000.

As we conservative Americans say., the swamp needs to be drained. It's important we vote in our town and city and state primaries and not be complacent. Just heard today that only a few democrats and republicans are against allowing a born infant who is on the table having been born to take care of that infant and not let that infant die. How can a Christian even wonder about that? Most Americans don't even know this is even something that's on the ballot. Voting is so important. I encourage Christians to go to truth&liberty.net they outline what each candidate believes about the issues.

We have to be informed and not allow ungodly news media tell us what is going on in the world because they won't tell the truth. Truth for sure has to be cherished and sought after. In this world it's our responsibility as Christians to know the truth and tell the truth.
