Megyn Kelly Gives Dinesh D'Souza The Friendliest Of Post-Guilty Plea Interviews

ERIC LACH – MAY 21, 2014, 10:40 AM EDT

Just hours after pleading guilty in federal court Tuesday to violating campaign finance law, conservative author Dinesh D'Souza appeared on Megyn Kelly's Fox News show for an interview.

It was a friendly affair.

"And so now, this case is resolved, for today, and the Obama administration gets to call one of its top critics a convicted felon," Kelly said near the beginning of the segment, which led to her first question: "Is this what they wanted all along?"

"I don't know," D'Souza replied. "I was facing two charges, Megan. The first one was exceeding the campaign finance limits. The second one was causing the government, the election commission, to file a false report. And that second charge carried a maximum of five years in prison. So what happened is I pleaded guilty to the charge of exceeding the campaign finance limits, and the government agreed to drop the other charge."

If they didn't get to interview criminals, there wouldn't be anyone to interview on that channel.

The sentencing guidelines for his crime is 10 to 16 months. Disparaging the process, judge, and prosecutor openly before sentencing means he'll do the max, no parole.
