He seems to be some sort of big deal. I don't work with propaganda film makers so I don't know a lot about him, but he apparently went over the line and broke the law.
A guy from around here did the same thing a few years ago, lining up straw donors that is. I think he got ten years but that was a few years ago and the Feds had been after him for about 20 years. He was a well known Democrat and a well known political type but he went over the line and that time could not stay one step ahead of the law like he always had before.
As far as him being 'targeted' as some Conservatives claim.... Is it OK to commit a felony if the guilty person is a Conservative?
