“I honestly didn’t know it was illegal to pay a college and get preferential treatment in return.”
—
Preferential treatment is only acceptable if it’s someone who is illiterate but can throw a ball through a hoop or if their parents built a library for the school.
These people just offered the goods to the wrong person,
Agreed. This is all about class envy, vindictiveness, and destroying a minor actress who makes Christian-themed movies.
If Madonna had done this no one would care.
Well she’s broken now, so that should please the sour old men on Freerepublic and the left-wing media.
So, her sentence was in line with tho others. Had she pled immediately she probably would have got probation.
I believe you are thinking of the Green River killer - Gary Ridgway.
Yep
It’s not a crime to buy your kids way into college, it’s only a crime to try to do it on the cheap with mid-level college functionaries. You have to pay the top guys top dollar. Paying off tennis and crew coaches instead of the University President - scandalous!!
What about the bribe takers?
My question.
40 Years! Puuuuhleeze
yep moron children of powerful politicians and the filthy rich get into Ivy League schools and nobody bats an eye.. anyone think Fredo was a top 2% student?
They’ll have to write some big checks to the IRS after they’re audited. No doubt they took deductions on their tax returns for “charitable contributions.” Their pleas are proof that their tax returns were fraudulent.
So it was a money making prosecution.
Bump
I thought Golden State Killer, but probably heard wrong.
Golden State. Green River. They both should’ve been pushing up daisies years ago.
Why would they? What is the crime in giving a college admissions person money? They aren't government officials. I cannot figure out why this is a federal issue.
Meanwhile, people like Andrew McCabe who admitted tolying to the DOJ IG (same 'crime' as Flynn is being persecuted for), Strzok who lied on Flynns 302 form, and that guy who was caught lying on FISA warrant requests, all walk free and unconcerned.
40 years is blackmail and extortion. Little justice in America these days.
Coercive plea bargaining has poisoned the Criminal Justice system.
Agree fully!
Like Dr. Dre did at USC?
Universities always have set asides for people with MORE money. It’s just how you spin in.
And, Ilhan Omar (false name) is still in this country(illegally), still a member of the House of Representatives (unbelievably), and still on sensitive committees (a threat to national security).
The world is upside down.
Meanwhile 14 murderers were let out of prison by gov Newsom.
No college presidents indicted for this or any other bribe from any college.
