There's really not much to unravel here. D'Souza has been loyal to Trump, and Trump is awarding that loyalty, while also sending a message to certain other people currently being investigated that they too can be rewarded. The predictable reaction from the media folks on Twitter is just an added bonus.

I think it was a politically motivated prosecution. Classic Obama. It’s just not the case that these offenses are never prosecuted.

Trump needs to pardon Matthew Charles

It seems to be, at best, EXTREMELY RARE for the scope of what we are talking about with D'Souza.

Meh, maybe. I think you're overthinking it.
I think this is Trump tossing red meat out more so than sending a message.

I think you're making this out to be a bit bigger than it is. DD was a political target and Trump is just correcting that.

A truly kind and merciful leader!

So you're saying that Trump is sending the message to the little dogs that "if you out the big dogs then I will take care of you?"
Sounds like a sweet deal to the little dogs to me. I'm good with that.

I could just as easily make the case that D’Souza was adversarial toward Obama and Obama punished that enmity, while sending a message to his other enemies (to whom he was never shy about expressing his desire to punish) that it could happen to them, too.
See how that works?

I don't understand where you're going with this.

And this dropped the day after Judge Wood said the rest of Cohen's seized files will go to the SDNY screening team in 2 weeks if Trump and Cohen's lawyers haven't finished their review.

Dinesh D'Souza was a victim of the Obama police state. He deserves a pardon.
He pled guilty and apologized for his error....how was he a victim?

Those are guidelines.
The President has the Constitutional authority to waive them.

I believe the black boxer he pardoned a few weeks ago did not go through the Pardon attorney either.

DOJ can get interested in a pardon when it does not go through the customary channels. Of course other factors would need to be at play though for them to start an investigation.
