that is why my favorite stories dinesh d'souza is a small-time political player
he wrote a book against Obama documentary yes in the 2012 elections
and he is paid a good amount of money to be a hatchet man
for the right I remember this the report that was revealed that showed
while the right-wing billionaires saying hey we need someone with dark skin
to attack Obama so we can have cover and lo and behold
the National sousa everybody project now look to be very delicious is a before
the report was ever written he was attacking democrats this whole life
that's his schtick and maybe even believes we certainly know that he
doesn't believe the family values part
I'll get to that in a minute but first let's remember well why he's in the news
well we found out recently that he had violated
campaign finance regulations now there's almost no campaign finance regulations
so it takes some doing to violate that law
it could be there so much money you could follow in in a legal ways but
there's not go ahead
who works at right-wing think tanks I wanna violating the law anyway
direct contributions to candidates have to be limited to ten thousand dollars
depending at what you give them primary general election and how many people are
contributing your family right
but in this case was ten thousand also when the long he'd given that
with his wife now we found out later as part of the investigation that it turns
out his wife
didn't want to give that money to Wendy long who was running as a Republican
and yes Kirsten Gillibrand in the Senate race in New York
but here comes the fun part he also gotten his mistress
to give ten thousand dollars the Wendy long and
of course that's illegal cuz he paid them back he was funneling money
it was he impact in ash the sousa who was giving the money
and that's why he up us now of course is he got busted hi
he now says of they were car getting me
because a political reasons his attorney says he was targeted because it has
consistently Costigan highly-publicized criticism
although Obama administration that they quote
selectively targeted before felony prosecution because it was outspoken
vigorous and politically controversial criticism and condemnation
or the president well the federal prosecutors disagree they say that that
is entirely without merit
and they go on to explain that hey listen
we weren't actually doing investigation international sousa we're doing in
normal standard investigation all the campaign finances in that race and we're
actually looking at both the democrat Gillibrand and the Republican when the
long
when we noticed this issue and when we noticed the issue then we went into it
and found out things
are more about specifically dinesh d'souza and in fact one of the things
they found out of course is that he was following the money through his wife and
then his mistress at the same time
well now they have even more evidence that the National choose a new about
that
and knew that he was violating the law and implant actually have
act s strategy about it how do we know that
well see his mistress Denise Joseph is also married
she has a husband husband decided hey you don't want
1i record some other things she said and let's see what
interesting things that we fight and they found something interesting
joseph was recorded as saying that mister de Souza had told her
that if you were charged he might plead guilty but would initially pleaded not
guilty
because they give them a window of opportunity to get his story out there
so in other words he knew he was guilty all along
and the rest is all a marketing campaign hoops
watch out what you tell your mistress when you're running in a family values
platform
now it doesn't run as a politician but he's been out there in the press is a
right-wing ideologue for a long time and prosecutors explain
and New York Times recounts the defendant knew
that what he was doing in August 2012 was wrong and it was not a fleeting
accidental misjudgment
it was part of a larger larger pattern a flower in campaign finance limits
he knew existed ok
so that's a campaign finance part he appears to be in great legal trouble
he's got a couple accounts
against them both for giving the illegal contributions and then making false
statements about it
this recording is not hopeless case I like I said before we should be careful
what you mister says
but then that's the last part in this is it is mistress because we've had several
different reports saying that
he's gonna be with her going forward and then some other say no he's back with
his wife Dixie to susan
and so I love the last lineup this Talking Points Memo article
in an interview with Business Insider in March de Souza decline to answer
question
about whether he was currently married take either woman
family values
conservatives man their unbelievable just wouldn't be BK get any more
hypocritical
then you get dinesh the new user
up
