    Carrie Cohen, the lead prosecutor in D’Souza case: “D'Souza pled guilty because he was guilty. He allocuted on the record that he intentionally and knowingly caused illegal straw donor campaign contributions in violation of federal law.“

        Let there be no doubt that POTUS knows what he is doing. Sending as many signals as he can that our judicial system is no longer independent - it answers to him in ways that Nixon would envy.

        Don’t be so dramatic. He’s hardly the first POTUS to pardon someone for political reasons. It’s not a good reason to pardon someone but it’s hardly original.

        They rarely do it early in a term. And never so blatantly political. And Marc Rich was just as abhorrent a pardon but certainly wasn’t sending any signals! Name another one that was tied to the political fortune of a POTUS?

        Well, you already said Marc Rich. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Look, D’Souza is a joke and it’s blatantly political but he’s already served his time so I would hardly consider it an attack on the judicial branch.

        It is an attack on the USAtty SDNY, which is where Michael Cohen is being investigated. It is not an accident. Next will be Martha Stewart who was prosecuted by Comey.

        Interesting theory. I hadn’t considered that angle. You think he’s letting it be known that he’s willing to pardon his friends no matter what?

        Most presidents intentionally don’t pardon until they are out the door or have historical significance (Marc Rich was literally January 20 2001). There are surely unusual ones. But this is unreal. He is sending signals to his friends.

        And in accepting a pardon he again admitted his guilt. He could be pardoned 1000 times, but he will always be guilty.

        As well as a disgrace to the presidency. Our system is broken if this is what we elect to run the country.

        It must have been very UNFAIR to ask D'Souza directly if he was guilty. What a setup! What choice did he have--either perjure himself and say he was innocent or admit that he was actually guilty?? Sounds like a trap!😉

        As written up by the prosecutor who hounded Souza into bankruptcy due to the full force of the government beating on a little guy that the Demorats didn’t like. He had no choice. So Cohen could make anything up that he wanted and Souza had to agree to it.

        Little guy hounded by the big bad government? That's what you have? He's been a successful writer for decades. This isn't Gomer at the filling station. Gomer isn't well connected enough to arrange unlawful political contributions.

        Can't the press make clear that upper-class people with lots to lose don't plead guilty by accident? D'Souza was lucky to avoid jail, could have done a lot of time, pled guilty to avoid it, did avoid it, and immediately pretended he was the victim. Shame on him.
