President Obama and Eric Holder's Department of Justice go after Dinesh D'Souza?

The Obama Administration apparently did not forget about Dinesh D'Souza and his film.  Well there is more than one way to block the follow on film.  
Nothing suspicious here:  Funny how the Obama and Holder's Department of Justice focuses on Critics of Obama...
D’SOUZA, 52, of San Diego, California, is charged with one count of causing $20,000 in illegal campaign contributions to be made to a candidate for the United States Senate in calendar year 2012, which carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison. He also is charged with one count of causing false statements to be made to the FEC in connection with the illegal campaign contributions, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
The Indictment is the result of a routine review* by the FBI of campaign filings with the FEC by various candidates after the 2012 election for United States Senator in New York. Mr. Bharara praised the investigative work of the FBI.
This case is being prosecuted by the Office’s Public Corruption Unit. Assistant United States Attorneys Carrie H. Cohen and Rebecca Ricigliano are in charge of the prosecution.
The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty 
*emphasis added

If D'Souza had done this for the Obama Administration, he would be serving as an U.S. Ambassador at a country of his choice.

 The alleged contributions may have been to D'Souza's Dartmouth classmate Wendy Long:
The indictment did not name the Senate candidate in the case. But it appears to be Wendy Long (R), who lost overwhelmingly in 2012 to incumbent Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat. Long raised less than $1 million for her long-shot campaign.
D'Souza was right about the direction the county would take if Barack Obama was re-elected:
“In America, we have a long tradition of not doing what is commonly done in too many other countries — criminalizing dissent through the selective enforcement of the law,” he said. 
Well it was good while it lasted.

As Professor Glenn Reynolds notes, it is easy to for those in power to abuse the system when practically anything is a crime.  Of course the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York is an Obama Appointee.  Below is one of the Assistant U.S. Attorneys who is assigned as the prosecutor of Dinesh D'Souza:

Assistant U.S. Attorney Carrie H. Cohen
Ms. Cohen was previously appointed by Attorney General Eliot Spitzer as Chief of the Public Integrity Unit in the Criminal Division of the Attorney General's Office.  Well that is a relief!  If Eliot Spitzer likes her what could go wrong?

Update:
$500,000 Bail?  Sweet cherry tomatoes, is that excessive or what?

    Between this and Friends of Abe, can we say the purges have begun?

    Or must we wait for the Night of the Long Knives?
