Dinesh D’Souza slams Bharara after being pardoned

Recently pardoned conservative filmmaker Dinesh Dā€™Souza wasted no time before mocking the man who put him away followiāœ…ng his full pardon by President Trump on Thursday.

ā€œKARMA 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 Bhaš’ƒrara, former United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Bharara indicted Dā€™Souza in 2014 for using ā€œstraw donorsā€ to funnel $20,000 to Wendy Longā€™s 2012 US Senate campaign in New York. Dā€™Souza pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight months iź¦‘n a halfway house aā™”nd 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 prosecutšŸƒor tweeted earlier Thursday that he stands by tšŸ½he conviction.

ā€œThe 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€
