Conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza faced political persecution after he directed and released anti-Obama film, “2016: Obama’s America”. He was indicted over illegal campaign contributions.

It was an obvious witch hunt.

In January, D’Souza said his FBI file, obtained by the House Intel Committee shows the FBI red-flagged him as a “critic of Obama” and subsequently allocated $100,000 to investigate a $20,000 case.

An official petition requesting President Trump pardon Dinesh D’Souza was created in April, seeking 100,000 signatures.

Dinesh reacted positively to the petition.

Dinesh tweeted: Hey, someone here is standing up for me. To try to undo the selective prosecution of petty vindictive Obama. How cool!

On Thursday President Trump announced he will pardon Dinesh D’Souza later today.

Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!

Michael Flynn Jr. weighed in on the announcement.

The political hit job on @DineshDSouza was a disgrace. That’s what the Obama administration was good at. Targeting those they disagreed with and trying to silence them.

Man this sounds familiar.
