D'Sousa is going to go to trial...



Dinesh D’Souza Loses Dismissal Motion, Will Be Tried For Campaign Finance Violations

Conservative filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza failed to win dismissal of his federal charges for using straw donors to exceed campaign donation limits yesterday. D’Souza’s attorney argued that the recent McCutcheon decision by the Supreme Court rendered the law unconstitutionally vague. Judge Berman also nixed D’Souza’s desired fishing expedition for evidence that he is a victim of political payback.

D'Souza is a shining example of that. It's always the liberals' fault, even when they're exhuming bodies from a con's back yard.

I hope he gets a little jail time and a large fine. Hoping the combination wakes him up is as vain a hope as finding a shopping bag full of $100 bills on my front porch is. Aint gonna happen.

They will e-mail you good stuff every day of the week.

D'Souza is pure evil and with any luck, his appearance on Maher last week is his last on any teevee show. But probably not - he'll be a hero/victim on Faux.

If he goes to prison, he will be a member of Congress within two years of his release.

His sole defense is that he is being picked on but he had no evidence to back up this theory

They do it all the time -- while brazenly claiming that they have superior morals. What a crock of shit.
