Is the prosecution of Dinesh d'Souza politically motivated?

This is a follow-up to our piece from yesterday titled Dinesh D'Souza indicted for violating U.S. election law .
Ms. Althouse mentions in this article: "(We saw D'Souza's movie, and I blogged about it here and here.)"
Althouse  Speaking as a lawyer, Ms. Althouse writes:
"Laws need to be enforced neutrally, across the board, or we need to be free of them. When the executive authority spares its friends or, worse, targets its enemies, what is revealed is the insufficient or fake commitment to rules that bind everyone and that deter rule-followers (like me) from engaging in activities we might want to engage in. I want to smoke out this insufficient or fake commitment to campaign finance law by challenging government to prosecute all violators. If that challenge is unmet, we deserve different laws."

Sick joke: Anti-Obama filmmaker indicted for election fraud  "Going after D'Souza is petty politics. He's not an important conservative author or commentator. Recent scandals have tainted his reputation. But "2016" was the second highest grossing political documentary of all time and savaged the president mercilessly
"Reason enough in Obama's mind to destroy him."
