Another Conservative indicted: be still, my heart.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/24/nyregion/dinesh-dsouza-is-charged-with-using-straw-donors-to-give-to-a-campaign.html?hp



Dinesh D’Souza, a best-selling conservative author and filmmaker, was indicted on Thursday on charges that he used straw donors to illegally donate to a 2012 Senate campaign.

Mr. D’Souza is an outspoken political commentator who directed “2016: Obama’s America,” a scathing anti-Obama documentary released in the final months of the president’s re-election campaign.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said that Mr. D’Souza encouraged others to give $20,000 to a Senate candidate and reimbursed them for the donations. Election law prohibits such arrangements and caps donations at $5,000 per donor to any one candidate

We can't build a sub that'll get that deep.

Do people understand what this cretin did? He paid people to donate money on his behalf to political candidates. It's beyond moronic.

This is the Conservative Intellectual, the Dartmouth Braintrust.

Honestly, the average half-witted convenience store stick-up kid would seem to be smarter than D'Souza.
