Washington, D.C. has been abuzz after the President pardoned Dinesh D’Souza, a conservative political commentator. D’Souza had been sentenced to 8 months in a halfway house, 5 years probation, and a $30,000 fine for pleading guilty in a federal court for illegally contributing to a political campaign. A crime that is a felony. However, it is not the pardon that has people talking now, what is keeping people talking is what D’Souza did after getting the pardon. Most people would not expect it.
D’Souza took to social media to denounce the Obama administration and stick it to the people who punished him over the incident he was involved in. Some may have considered the punishment quite harsh and as if it was “stuck” to him for being Conservative.
The Washington Examiner reported:
“Conservative author Dinesh D’Souza took aim at former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in a pair of tweets Thursday, telling Bharara that “karma is a bitch” after D’Souza received a pardon from President Trump. “KARMA IS A BITCH DEPT: @PreetBharara wanted to destroy a fellow Indian American to advance his career. Then he got fired & I got pardoned,” D’Souza tweeted. Trump announced Thursday he pardoned D’Souza and said he was “treated very unfairly” by the government.
Bharara served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York when D’Souza was charged with campaign finance fraud. D’Souza pleaded guilty in 2014 to a federal charge of making illegal campaign contributions to a U.S. Senate candidate, but he claimed he was forced to plead guilty by Bharara and other federal prosecutors. “Bharara & his goons bludgeoned me into the plea by threatening to add a second redundant charge carrying a prison term of FIVE YEARS,” D’Souza tweeted, responding to a tweet from Bharara.
The former U.S. attorney said in his initial tweet that federal agents and prosecutors acted appropriately. “The President has the right to pardon but the facts are these: D’Souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologized for his conduct & the judge found no unfairness. The career prosecutors and agents did their job. Period,” Bharara tweeted. Trump fired Bharara in 2017.”
One unexpected ally that D’Souza got in the process was Republican Senator from Texas and former presidential candidate Ted Cruz. Cruz admitted to being instrumental in organizing the pardon with the President. Cruz also admitted to suggesting to the President to do the pardon at the National Rifle Association convention that they both attended. The one where the President gave the address.
The Hill reported:
“He had just pardoned Scooter Libby, who I think Scooter likewise had faced an unfair prosecution,” Cruz said, according to the Tribune. “I think that pardon was the right thing to do, and so in the car ride, I said, ‘You know, Mr. President, another pardon very much along the same lines of Scooter Libby would be Dinesh D’Souza, who I think was unfairly politically targeted.’ And the president agreed,” he continued. “I read the papers, I see him on television,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I never met him, I called him last night, first time I’ve ever spoken to him, I said, I’m pardoning you. Nobody asked me to do it,” the president said, adding that “a lot of people” agreed with his decision.”
In an opinion piece for Fox News D’Souza gave his own interpretation of what went down and had the following to say about his pardon and his work with the President,
“My only consolation is that Bharara’s whole scheme has collapsed. He tried to destroy a fellow Indian-American’s life out of naked political ambition. Then President Trump fired him and pardoned me! Bharara is discovering the ancient Indian wisdom contained in the modern American saying that “karma is a bitch.” My case, alas, represents a grotesque miniature of what American politics has become. It wasn’t always this way.
President Jimmy Carter or even President Bill Clinton would no more dream of locking up opponents like me than the Bushes would dream of locking up leftist filmmaker Michael Moore or Rosie O’Donnell. But with President Obama and Hillary Clinton, we’ve see a gangsterization of politics in which the organs of the state – the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service, the Justice Department and so on – are deployed against ideological adversaries
