Hack right-wing writer and "documentary" film director Dinesh D'Souza
have been indicted . He is "accused of illegally directing associates to make contributions to a Senate campaign committee that totaled $20,000. He then reimbursed those individuals for the contributions, prosecutors say.
Though the candidate isn’t identified in
the indictment, NBC News has confirmed that it is Republican Wendy Long, who lost the Senate bid in a landslide to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. He faces two years in prison.
Here's statement from his famed lawyer Benjamin Branfman:
"It is important to note that the indictment does not allege a corrupt relationship between Mr. D’Souza and the candidate. There was never a corrupt agreement of any kind, nor was there any request made that the candidate take any action or refrain from taking any action as a candidate, or as a US Senator, if her political campaign were to have been successful."
