I was told the government was so unfair to him.
Hey, @WildRose
As a wise poster said…
Do you have a response to this, or are you going to continue pretending that you didn’t see it?

What does it have to do with anything I have addressed here?
Have I said he wasn’t guilty somewhere?
This is what you said:
Do you accept that his investigation and prosecution were not “political”, but because the Republican candidate turned him in?

did i not post a bunch that Trump was gonna go to DC and show the politicians what real corruption looks like?
i’m getting tired of being right so much.
No. If not for his politics he’d have just been fined for a misdemeanor at most.
You’ve said a lot of stupid things and just like that one most of them have yet to be shown to be true in any way.
He committed a felony, not a misdemeanor.
This is the law he broke:
No person shall make a contribution in the name of another person or knowingly permit his name to be used to effect such a contribution, and no person shall knowingly accept a contribution made by one person in the name of another person.
This is the punishment for violating that law:
(D) Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a violation of section 30122 of this title involving an amount aggregating more than $10,000 during a calendar year shall be—
(i) imprisoned for not more than 2 years if the amount is less than $25,000 (and subject to imprisonment under subparagraph (A) if the amount is $25,000 or more);
As anyone familiar with our legal system should know, a crime punishable by a period of time in prison longer than one year is a felony, not a misdemeanor.

And you know as well as I do that such offenses are rarely prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Campaign finance violations usually result in the politician giving the money back and the "giver’ at most getting a slap on the wrist.
Straw donor offenses are rarely prosecuted because they rarely occur. It’s a particularly stupid thing to do, especially since there are countless other, legal ways to donate more money to candidates.
Section 30122 is the most serious campaign finance violation in § 301, with the highest punishment. It’s not on the same level as other campaign finance violations.
If you can show an example of someone who was found to violate § 30122 and received a significantly lower sentence than D’Souza, I’m all ears.
Obama commuting drug and gun crimes was saying those were ok?
commuting vs pardon
Read the post.
DeBlasio wasn’t even charged and they had him dead to rights for orchestrating a straw donation scheme.
did. trump Pardoned someone who pleaded guilty to campaign finance fraud. Obama Commuted some who had drug ad gun crime. one has a very different outcome then the other
So was Obama saying it was ok for those he pardoned or not?
Obama issued both pardons and commutations.
Was he giving those crimes his approval or not?
Did they go through the appeals process the DOJ has set up? or did Obama decide to pardon those on his own?
