So many names, so many crimes committed. I've heard the name but can't place the person. What did he do? What was the crime?

I try to keep up with most of the characters in this mystery, but some of the minors and Russians slip through the cracks (since I can't remember the pronunciation of the Russians). I don't remember this case, at all.

I saw in another article a remark he made about the Parkland survivors. He should have been put in stanchions in the village square for that. What a horrible man.

But, if Trump says he's being mistreated by such a sentence, it must be true. (Not!) It does, however, give us some insight into how the sentencing may go. Trump will have fun wielding his "Pardon Powers" in Lady Justice's face.

Before he pleaded guilty in 2014, @DineshDSouza told a federal judge: "I knew that causing the campaign contributions to be made in the name of another was wrong, and something the law forbids. I deeply regret my conduct."

so he was really unfairly treated, give me a fucking break.

His campaign was one big campaign finance violation. This was just a signal that he'l pardon anyone who gets convicted.
