Today’s announcement that President Donald Trump plans to pardon Dinesh D’Souza does more than “trigger the libs,” as they say. It tests our democratic faith. D’Souza is a lying, thieving, and philandering sadist, much like the president. But unlike Trump, he was held accountable. In 2014, he was convicted for campaign finance fraud. He confessed to the charge. In pardoning D’Souza, Trump is not only saying consequences be damned. He’s saying justice itself is meaningless.
