Conservative nitwit, convicted felon, pathological liar, Alfred E. Neuman impersonator and folding Christmas tree salesman Dinesh D'Souza is looking at prison time, if Federal prosecutors have their way.
The loathsome D'Souza has tried the 'I'm so humbled and sorry' routine but nobody (outside of the fever-dream factory that is Fox News) is buying it.
In a Wednesday court filing, federal prosecutors rejected defense arguments that D’Souza was “ashamed and contrite” about his crime, had “unequivocally accepted responsibility,” and deserved a sentence of probation with community service. D’Souza, 53, admitted in May to illegally reimbursing two “straw donors” who donated $10,000 each to the unsuccessful 2012 U.S. Senate campaign in New York of Wendy Long, a Republican he had known since attending Dartmouth College in the early 1980s.
The government said a 10- to 16-month prison sentence was appropriate for D’Souza, and necessary to deter others from abusing the election process, including “well-heeled individuals who are tempted to use their money to help other candidates.” It also said D’Souza waited to “the last possible moment” prior to trial before admitting guilt, and then went on TV shows and the Internet to complain about being “selectively” targeted for prosecution, and having little choice but to plead guilty.
“Based on the defendant’s own post-plea statements, the court should reject the defendant’s claims of contrition on the eve of sentencing,” prosecutors led by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan said in the filing.
This is what happens when the Muslin Tyrant Obama™ gets you in his sights...oh, yeah, and if you commit felonies, also, too.
In his own sentencing recommendation on Sept. 3, D’Souza said he “cannot believe how stupid I was, how careless, and how irresponsible.”
You forgot to mention '...and I loved America too much,' Dinesh.
U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan is scheduled to sentence D’Souza on Sept. 23. The defendant faces a maximum of two years in prison.
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: 'One must have a heart of stone to read the downfall of D'Souza without laughing.'
