The “out and about only because of a pardon” bit is false. From Wikipedia:
> In 2012, D'Souza contributed […] Two years later, D'Souza pleaded guilty in federal court to one felony charge […] He was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house near his home in San Diego, five years' probation, and a $30,000 fine.[29][30] In 2018, D'Souza was issued a pardon by President Donald Trump.[31]
Some simple math reveals the pardon came long after his “incarceration”, and the sentence including probation would have been fully served by now (2012 + 2 + 5 < 2022).
