They'll get ankle bracelets for 2 months of stay at home vacation, just like everyone else minus the bracelet.
They should pardon her. 2 months is too much for this. They are letting dangerous criminals out these days.
Do the college officials that accepted the bribes get any time?
I guess the mistake was not making it a “donation”!
What about the bribe takers?
Why is this even a Federal issue?
Perhaps they can cite Covid concerns. The nastiest most depraved criminals who actually harm people do it now. They’re out stealing cars, committing rape etc. see Tucker 5/20.
40 years is blackmail and extortion. Little justice in America these days.
what did the people they bribed get?
‘They’ should get a complete pardon for ‘exposing’ this racket.
When will they start putting the Kennedys, BOs,Clintons etal in jail because the ‘school’ gets a big PLUS for having such (so called) royalty aboard.
Don’t forget the alumnae with the thickheaded kid that just build a new library or put up a million dollar scoreboard.
Where are the people who ACCEPTED these bribes?
Shouldn’t they undergo a Mueller type investigation with finances being seized etc etc etc.
Covered by British media? Where’s our media? Oh, never mind.
40 years?!
That’s a bit much. Meanwhile, D.C. Democrats are ENTIRELY ABOVE THE LAW, right, Mr. Barr?
Lori blinked.
The meritocracy has been saved. No quarter for cheaters!....Yet kinda admired her willingness to fight. It was amusing to watch this Hollywood Stepford wife cutout who makes her living pretending to be other people defending herself. Imagine the reality of a guilty verdict and a long sentence convinced her to take a deal. Now she gets to meet Bubbette, her soon to be new best friend.
How did that compare to the others who were plea bargaining early?
Going to the ‘Big House’ ...
When some starlet lies about her kid being on the rowing team and unfairly gets her kid into college, Fedzilla swings into action like Iron Man.
But let the FBI attempt a coup, commit perjury, nothing. Let Wasserman Schultz and Pelosi give Pakistani and Chinese spies complete access, crickets. Let police violate civil rights all over the country, nothing. Let governors pass special laws more restrictive of churches than other gatherings, nothing.
Just bagpiping...
These privileged Hollywood clowns make me sick and they need a lesson. They ought to get community service -there’s lots of things they can do.
Then maybe they’ll see how SOME people struggle getting THEIR kids into school.
They could work on a campus, in the union... dishing lunches to kids, some of whom can barely afford it. We had a grad student who was living in his car.
If instead of bribing an official directly, if they had just made a gift to the schools endowment, I wonder if they could have accomplished the same thing, but legally.
If the dean decided to let the person in, but didn’t personally receive compensation would that be legal?
40 years. Hell, even in the USSR the max you could get was 10 years. You might not survive a “tenner”, but that was all they could sentence you. In the old west people got 2 or 3 years in prison for robbery. The Sundance kid is an example. In 1887, he stole a gun, horse, and saddle from a ranch in Sundance, Wyoming. He was captured and sentenced to 18 months in jail.
A threat of 40 years for lying to get your kid in college is the mark of a police state.
Say it ain’t so, Aunt Becky. She’s crazy to take a deal that involves any real prison time. Hopefully for her this is “home detention.”
