Does Gen. Kelly know that convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza is "briefing"

Bannon and Gorka right inside the White House? D'Souza has since deleted the tweets, but screenshots are forever:

1. Like Bannon and Gorka don't already know about the Big Lie and Atwater's Tricks?

Bannon's a student of Lenin and Gorka's a card carrying Neo-Nazi for heaven's sake. They've both been honing their Propaganda role in media and projection strategies for a far longer time than D'Souza has been in "academia" writing his Conserve-hysteria blather.

More of a pep-talk meeting than a "brief".

2. How can a felon get into the White House?

4. It could be argued that it's already full of unconvicted felons.

[question everything]

3. Can you please elaborate on D'Souze felony conviction?

Not something that I follow. Thanks

7. Thanks

In January 2014, D'Souza was indicted on charges of making illegal contributions to a 2012 United States Senate campaign, a felony under U.S. law. On May 20, 2014, D'Souza pleaded guilty in Federal Court to one charge of using a "straw donor" to make an illegal political campaign donation. On September 23, he was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house near his home in San Diego, five years probation, and a $30,000 fine.

6. From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinesh_D%27Souza#Election_campaign_finance_conviction

On January 24, 2014, D'Souza was arraigned in a Manhattan federal court over the campaign finance law allegations.[13][87] In May 2014, D'Souza pleaded guilty to one felony count of making illegal contributions in the names of others.[119] In September 2014, the court sentenced D'Souza to five years probation, eight months in a halfway house (referred to as a "community confinement center&quot and a $30,000 fine.[13] He was required to perform a day (eight hours) of community service each week during his probation and to undergo therapy on a weekly basis.[12]

D'Souza's attorney had argued his client "did not act with any corrupt or criminal intent whatsoever" and described the incident as "at most...an act of misguided friendship".[87][120] United States District Judge Richard M. Berman rejected the contention that D'Souza was singled out for prosecution, stating, "The court concludes the defendant has respectfully submitted no evidence he was selectively prosecuted."[121]

11. Thank you for posting instead of just sending me to search

I think that it helps many of us to have as complete information as we can on a single thread.

[Beaverhausen]

8. wow- googling is hard I guess

[question everything]

10. Why should I?

Why not have all the info in the same thread?

Offering information is hard, I guess, for some people.

No, I don't have smart phone and I do not communicate with my thumbs, shortening every word.

I like to read and I appreciate well written pieces, including the ones by many literate DUers here.

12. Has someone tried to decipher that white board?

I can make out something about NAFTA and the Executive Office.

[blogslut]

13. Here's a little bit more of it captured via screenshot:

I can make out "WELFARE" on that list in green. And the list on the right has, among other things, proposed Executive Orders listed.

[progressoid]

16. That's better. Lots of Executive Orders.

Here's what I got from the right. I put question marks on the questionable ones.

Withdraw from TPP
EO Buy American Hire America
EO....?
EO....?
EO.....NAFTA
EO....?
Canadian Lumber Tariff?
... Steel Import....?
100 day plan to...China/Chinese......and American...?
Immigration...?
Office of Trade and Manufacturing
CUT CORP TAXES

Of course CUT CORP TAXES is in all caps.

[progressoid]

20. He really likes the white boards it seems.

[grantcart]

21. Apparently everything leads back to "Taxes".

14. Dinesh DSouza is not very bright. Seriously.

Republicans would be shutting bricks

19. Is he violating his probation?

[Comatose Sphagetti]

22. SMDH whenever I see an attempt to marginalize/define someone by "felon shaming".

A high percentage of us are felons never tried/convicted.
