Diinesh D'Souza made an overly large donation to a college friend of his who was running for political office. If it were any Democrat who did the same thing, they would likely not be prosecuted. The normal sentence would be a fine, as has been given to others who have done the same. But because it was Dinesh D'Souza, a documentary film-maker and author who has given a lot of embarrassing exposure to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the broader Democrat party, he was maliciously prosecuted and forced to do jail time where others guilty of the exact same offense simply had to pay a fine.
D'Souza's conviction is yet another example of the one-sided Democrat weaponization of the FBI and DOJ.
