That's a load of bullshit, you know. President Trump gets along tremendously well with Orientals.
He played golf and awarded the Presidential Medal to the tremendous Tiger Woods. He gets along fantastically well with Asian American hero Dinesh D'Souza, awarding him a pardon. He gets along splendidly with the oriental leaders of North Korea, South Korea, the Philippines, India , the Empire of Japan. One of his close friends down in Florida, Robert Kraft, is a fantastic customer of the Orchids of Asia.
Before Trump pardoned D'Souza, multiple legal experts had criticized Obama's conviction of D'Souza.
This is my own writing. My sources are all embedded links in the text:
Obama had anti-Obama filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza arrested for violating campaign finance laws, even though Obama himself had violated campaign finance laws three different times without being arrested
.
In August 2012, Dinesh D’Souza released
2016: Obama’s America, a movie that was critical of Obama.
In January 2014, D’Souza was
arrested for violating campaign finance laws.
In May 2014, D’Souza
pled guilty to violating campaign finance laws.
In September 2014, D’Souza was
sentenced to live in a halfway house for eight months, pay a $30,000 fine, perform 260 days of community service, and receive counseling.
However, even though Obama himself had violated campaign finance laws on three different occasions (see
here,
here, and
here), Obama never had himself arrested.
Numerous legal experts have said that D’Souza’s arrest was politically motivated.
Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz
said of D’Souza’s arrest:
“This is clearly a case of selective prosecution for one of the most common things done during elections, which is to get people to raise money for you…If they went after everyone who did this, there would be no room in jails for murderers.”
“This is an outrageous prosecution and is certainly a misuse of resources. It raises the question of why he is being selected for prosecution among the many, many people who commit similar crimes… This sounds to me like it is coming from higher places. It is hard for me to believe this did not come out of Washington or at least get the approval of those in Washington.”
Former Federal Election Commissioner David Mason
said of D’Souza’s arrest:
“What struck me first was that it is unusual in cases like these for the FBI to go out and actually arrest someone, simply because it is not necessary… And even less so in this case because [D’Souza] has enough prominence that it is fairly obvious that he is not a flight risk. White-collar indictments are made lots of times without an arrest being made.”
Commenting on D’Souza’s arrest, former acting U.S. attorney general George Terwilliger of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius
said that there were
“legitimate questions that could be asked about the political motivation for bringing the case.”
Dominic Gentile of Gordon Silver, an expert on the enforcement of campaign finance law, conducted extensive research on other people who had done the same thing as D’Souza, and
concluded:
“Twenty thousand dollars?”I’ve never heard of a $20,000 criminal case for campaign finance violations.”
Those legal experts are correct. The real reason D’Souza was arrested was because he made an anti-Obama movie. As long as Obama never makes an anti-Obama movie, Obama will never be arrested for this three violations of campaign finance law.
