Recently pardoned conservative filmmaker Dinesh DāSouza wasted no time before mocking the man who put him away followiā ng his full pardon by President Trump on Thursday.
āKARMA IS A BITCH DEPT: @PreetBharara wanted to destroy a fellow Indian American to advanš°ce his career. Then he got fired & I got pardoned,ā at Bhašrara, former United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Bharara indicted DāSouza in 2014 for using āstraw donorsā to funnel $20,000 to Wendy Longās 2012 US Senate campaign in New York. DāSouza pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight months iź¦n a halfway house aānd five yearsā probationā, along with a $30,000 fine.
Trump fired Bharara, appointed by President Barack Obama, after he refused to resign last year.
The former prosecutšor tweeted earlier Thursday that he stands by tš½he conviction.
āThe President has the right to pardon but the facts are these: D’Souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologized for his conduct & the judge found no unfairness. The career prosecutors and agents did their job. Period,ā
