Dinesh D’Souza, whose film 2016: Obama’s America accurately predicted the state of the nation and the world under Barack Obama if given a second term, and apparently caught the attention of the administration, was sentenced this morning in his campaign finance law violation case. Mr. D’Souza, who plead guilty in May, was given five years of probation with community service, managing to avoid the 10-16 month prison term demanded by the Feds. But the kicker is that he’s required to spend the first eight months of his probation at a “community confinement center” in San Diego, California. He was also fined $30,000 and directed by Judge Richard Berman to undergo “therapeutic counseling.”
From the Smoking Gun:
In a sentencing submission, D’Souza’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, asked Berman to sentence his client, a first-time offender, to a probation term that would include a community service component. Brafman contended that D’Souza was singled out for prosecution by the Department of Justice due to his “consistently caustic and highly publicized criticism” of President Barack Obama.
In his own letter to Berman, D’Souza contended that, “No good purpose would be served by locking me up.”
In response to D’Souza’s plea for leniency, federal prosecutors asked Berman to sentence to the convicted felon to 10 to 16 months in prison. “The defendant’s crime is serious and strikes at the heart of our federal election system,” prosecutors argued.
