I'm just saying why I like it; I would hope the prosecutors weren't considering his political views and activities when they indicted him.

Funny how it takes the indictment of a GOP Congressman for conservatives to bleat about aggressive prosecution prompted by public opinion. (When was the last time you saw someone indicted for perjury in a deposition? No, never mind.)

Yes, but for his movies, even if they are a form of protected speech.
