D'Souza was viciously prosecuted by Hussein and his thugs. Why should O'donnell be treated differently?
"Viciously". You guys sure do have a way with words.
He was turned in by the candidate who he donated to, and plead guilty.
Tell me what was so "vicious" about it.
Hussein's thugs showed no mercy. Why should O'Donnell be treated differently?
They "showed no mercy"?
It is truly amazing how you guys can warp reality to fit your delusions.
Wrong...

His incarceration for this was unusual, because this is a fairly common campaign finance violation. What happens in many cases is the people who do this are fined, and sentenced to probation or community service. It’s also pretty common for the Justice Department to not go after these violators at all. He listed off several campaign donors whose violations were much more flagrant than what he did, and the DOJ hasn’t laid a glove on them for years. His defense counsel was prepared to use the records of these violators as part of his defense, but the judge wouldn’t admit them as evidence.
In his case, he was charged with a felony, which is the maximum sentence under the law. He served his time in a transitional facility, which is a place where convicts who have done hard time for things like rape, larceny, and murder are being prepared to leave prison and re-enter society.
He said that law professor Alan Dershowitz, who is a liberal Democrat, looked at how the DOJ treated his case, and concluded that the prosecution was political. There was no justification for the way the DOJ was behaving. D’Souza claims, with some merit, that he was targeted for this prosecution, because he made a documentary in 2012 that looked into President Obama’s past, which was not vetted by news outlets when he ran for president in 2008. The documentary was also critical of Obama’s political views. He figured he was being punished by the Obama Administration for his speech. He does not excuse his crime in violating campaign finance law, but the sentencing for it was unusually harsh.
The wonder of the internet, if you don't care where you're looking, you can find anything. It looks like D'Souza's lawyers wrote that.
Donating in the name of another is a felony - and D'Souza pled guilty to that felony. According to the sentencing guidelines, 10 months in jail is normal.
8 months in a halfway house, again, is a good deal.
