United States of America vs Dinesh D’Souza, USDC, Southern District of New York, No. 14-cr-00034:
United States District Judge Richard Berman has today sentenced Dinesh D’Souza to serve eight (8) months at a community confinement center. In other words, a halfway house.
These facilities are typically for offenders who are coming out of prison or offenders who are given a last chance before, and in lieu of, being sent to prison.
Judge Berman also ordered the following:
1. one day of community service a week
2. pay a $30,000 fine
3. weekly therapy
Last month D’Souza admitted to illegally giving $20,000 to two of his friends (and both of their spouses) as reimbursements for their donations to Wendy Long’s U.S. Senate (R- NY) campaign in 2012. Regulations at the time limited individual donations to a maximum of $5,000. One of the friends was Denise Joseph.
Wendy Long’s 2012 campaign was unsuccessful.
D’Souza and Long have known each other since their days at Dartmouth College in the early 1980s.
During sentencing prosecutors in the case stated that D’Souza has been seen on television and the internet, after his guilty plea, stating that he was “selectively” targeted for prosecution and that he had no choice but to plead guilty.
This is a big no-no in federal court because you are required to take responsibility for anything that you plead guilty to. It should be noted that pleading guilty in a federal court is nothing like pleading guilty in a state court. In the federal system one must be ‘debriefed’ and admit to all crimes that one has ever committed and also provide information that one has on all crimes that others, including friends and family, have committed during one’s lifetime.
Those debriefings are then used to prosecute, or apply pressure to, other individuals. Sometimes years down the road.
In any event, the Judge (Berman) wasn’t real pleased with D’Souza exercising, post-guilty plea, his free speech online, and on television, regarding the criminal case.
At sentencing Berman said, I’m not sure, Mr. D’Souza, that you get it… And it is still hard for me to discern any personal acceptance of responsibility in this case.

You and he have something in common. You’re both terrible writers, who also happen to be criminals that hate the president.
@ Andrew Vrba, PmG:
If it was a Republican who abused his power to punish his enemies you would be screaming about how unfair it was and demanding they be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
When it’s the JV pResident you think it’s fine. You are a biased, ignorant disgrace.
Shouldn’t you be in DR prison by now?
June 30th: If I can’t track down the wanted trader, scam broker and owner of Obama Binary Options within the next 86 days (or 2064 hours) I will be taken into custody again and detained once more at the Penitenciaria Nacional La Victoria here in the Dominican Republic while I await extradition to the Republic of Kenya to stand trial for allegedly bribing government officials and also for treason.

Dinesh indicates, among other things, that his community service will be teaching English to new immigrants in the United States.

What deus ex machina will Lucas pull out of his butt this time? Place your bets!

My bet:
Trite and absurd
He is a predictable leach.
