If
there was ever a case that cried out for a pardon it was Dinesh D’Souza’s. Imprisoned for a relatively trivial
campaign contribution violation that normally receives a fine, it is obvious
that his real crime was his 2012 anti-Obama movie, 2016: Obama's America. In short, he was a political prisoner
sent up by Clinton appointee Judge Richard Berman and one Democrat U. S.
Attorney Preet Bharara.
Yet
instead of praising Trump’s pardon of D’Souza or at least having enough shame
to be quiet, some Democrats are doubling down, vociferously opposing the pardon
and even advocating putting D’Souza in double jeopardy and trying him again,
even though he has already served his time! Imprison political opponents! Then imprison them again!
Among
these is the New York State Attorney General Barbara Underwood. I will let you read some of the legal
details of that here. But it is
alarming how Democrats, even prosecutors who should know better, are openly
eager to abuse their political power and to tear up basic Constitutional
protections such as the prohibition of double jeopardy in order to attack and
even imprison political opponents.
Do
you like having political prisoners?
Vote Democrat.

NOTE:
Yes, I am aware that the Supreme Court has ruled that one may be tried for the
same crime in both state and federal courts. It is a very questionable ruling that decent prosecutors
should not use except in extreme cases, such as when one court is clearly a
kangaroo court rigged to free the perp. (Courts in some Southern states before
the 1960s come to mind.) And I
doubt it is right to do so even then as it goes so much against the intent of
the Fifth Amendment.
This
is one of many instances in which prosecutors have been given too much power in
this country. I fear for our
freedoms if too many Democrats like Barbara Underwood get ahold of that power.
