Dinesh D’Souza, a long-time conservative pundit will be pardoned by President Trump today, and liberals are throwing a massive hissy fit.

Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2018

By all reasonable accounts, D’Souza was treated unfairly by the Obama government and the judicial system. Katie Pavlich has details here.

According to court documents, federal prosecutors working on behalf of Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice misled U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman in the case against conservative filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza during their pursuit of 10-to-16 months of prison time for a federal felony charge.

In a reply sentencing memo submitted to the Court on behalf of D’Souza last week, his counsel argues federal prosecutors excluded and misrepresented the facts of “similar” cases in the Government’s sentencing proposal to Judge Berman, leaving out crucial facts key to fair and equal sentencing for D’Souza compared to other cases. The prosecution has a duty to present comparable cases and crimes when arguing for a prison sentence. In their presentation of “similar” cases to the Judge for consideration during his deliberation, the prosecution ignored all truly similar cases without prison time but did present cases that included prison time without a full set of facts to justify sentencing.

“The Government, in this case, has chosen to consciously omit from its submission critical facts from most of the cases they cite which make it clear that those cases are substantially distinguishable from the facts in D’Souza’s prosecution,” the memo states.

You can read the entire memo here. 

However, none of that matters to the liberals and blue checks on Twitter and in the media.

You see … pardoning someone who is a conservative is cause for massive pearl clutching. I mean seriously, this is supposedly worse than Arpaio and Scooter Libby!

Dinesh D’Souza is an awful person. Today is a good reminder that there will be so much more unfairness before this is over. We’re not ready for it.

And Sean for BURNNNN!!!

Is he more or less awful than Oscar Lopez Rivera, the Obama-pardoned traitor who ran a terrorist organization that orchestrated more than 100 bombings against the U.S.? https://t.co/GFUFitnCkt

Forget the dog whistle! Let’s go full elephant!

Trump’s Dinesh D’Souza pardon today, on top of his pardons of Scooter Libby and Joe Arpaio, make sense only as an elephant-whistle to Michael Cohen & all who know damning things about Trump: protect me & I’ll have your back. Turn on me & your goose is cooked. More obstruction!

Let’s give DREAMERS a free pass too?

Dinesh D’Souza is an immigrant who has commited more felonies than all of DREAMers combined, but he made illegal campaign contributions to the GOP so, of course, Trump wants to pardon him while ruining the lives of smart, hardworking, millennials brought here by their parents.

Hey Kaivan, D’Souza was a LEGAL immigrant here LEGALLY, who then went through the process to become a naturalized citizen in 1991. But go ahead, you do you.

Never mind the name of the organization, VoteVets are liberals through and through.

Dinesh D'Souza pled guilty to violating campaign law; funneling cash to a GOP campaign.

Trump's pardon doesn't just signal Manafort & others that they'll get one, but foreign regimes that they too can break laws to help Trump.

We didn't serve to see our vote attacked this way.

And…word salad

Dinesh D'Souza proves what dad always taught us – "Don't grow up to be a lying, bigoted, crypto-fascist criminal because if you do a lying, bigoted, crypto-fascist criminal might pardon you as a signal to his already indicted henchmen."

When a conservative Senator applauds the move…

Bravo! @realDonaldTrump Dinesh was the subject of a political prosecution, brazenly targeted by the Obama administration bc of his political views. And he’s a powerful voice for freedom, systematically dismantling the lies of the Left—which is why they hate him. This is Justice. https://t.co/cGHzcgwSnK

Get a fainting couch STAT!

Rough Draft really doesn’t know about Ted Cruz’s track record as a litigator, particularly with his work on the Bush vs Gore case, along with Heller, Ten Commandments, Pledge of Allegiance, and much more while serving as Texas Solicitor General. But then, facts don’t matter… it’s the NARRATIVE DAMMIT!

And right now the narrative continues to be anti-Trump and thus even a pardon for a misguided conviction is cause for teeth gnashing consternation among the liberal set.
