Conservative anti-Obama filmaker Dinesh D’Souza looks guilty. His lawyer tacitly admits as much, saying well, he didn’t mean any harm.

The conservative Hollywood group Friends of Abe? Beats me. They’re only being “scrutinized” by B.O.’s pet IRS. The indictments may come later.
Each of these cases has one thing in common: the targets are political conservatives, indicted (or scrutinized) by federal authorities in an election year when B.O.’s neck could be in a noose if his party loses the Senate and can’t regain the House.
