A federal court hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday morning in which the conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is expected to plead guilty to a charge stemming from campaign finance violations, according to a notice sent out by the government....
Decisions to plead guilty are subject to change at the last minute, and a defendant like Mr. D’Souza could decide instead to go to trial. The judge, Richard M. Berman, was to oversee jury selection on Tuesday morning, and opening arguments were expected to take place that day.I hate it when the Feds coddle criminals like D'Bag. He has no defense. Literally. (Repeat: Literally. His own shyster said so.)
The judge also denied a request by D'Souza, a prominent critic of President Barack Obama, to seek the production of evidence that would support his claim the prosecution was in retaliation for his political activities.
"The court concludes the defendant has respectfully submitted no evidence he was selectively prosecuted," Berman said.Any deal by which D'Souza avoids prison time is a miscarriage of justice.
(For a laughable and poorly written counterpoint, see Rev. Moon's shriveled organ.)
"The court concludes the defendant has respectfully submitted no evidence he was selectively prosecuted," Berman said.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting his "evidence" was "C'mon, you TOTALLY know I was selectively prosecuted." Which works just fine inside the wingnut echo chamber; elsewhere, not so much.
