he YouTube star daughter of actress Lori Loughlin admitted just last week that her parents forced her to go to college and that her father 'faked his way' through school by using tuition money to start his design business.

Olivia Jade Giannulli has been slammed ever since her parents were charged Tuesday for paying $500,000 to get her and her 20-year-old sister Isabella into the University of Southern California.

Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli allegedly paid to have their two daughters labeled as USC crew team recruits, even though neither of them are rowers.

Olivia has since come under fire for 'ignorant' comments she has made about college, including an interview just last week in which she admitted that she only went to college because her parents forced her.

Lori Loughlin also has endorsement deals with a number of products, and husband Mossimo is probably worth a hundred million.

Yeah, I realize all that, but wouldn’t it be nice if the FBI would actually pursue real crimes like espionage, corruption, racketeering, violations of the national security act, etc., rather than looking for reasons not to investigate and prosecute?

I’m sure this’ll put an end to rich kids getting into exclusive schools. And I guaran-damn-tee you that they won’t be looking into how Chelsea Clinton got into Stanford, Malia Obama got into Harvard, etc., etc., etc. It’s what we used to call “eye wash”; “Look at what we’re doing to protect the American people.” Like so many other previous “investigations”, this will be a shining example of selective prosecution.

Color me cynical...

With 2 million youtube followers, she’s a successful entrepreneur. You sure she needs college?

Reasonable question, my good FRiend.

This parent has a different definition of success from that of being (by my guess) generally ignorant with 2 MM utubers.

Anybody organizing millions of dollars of fake tax deductions or tax evasion for any reason gets about the same treatment. This is just a celeb version.

I can imagine the email Hallmark channel has been getting over this. I have a feeling she won’t be doing much for Hallmark in the future.
btw - she’s also in a tv sitcom “Fuller House”. Didn’t know that until today. I’d never heard of it.

“Not in every case.”

I didn’t say it was in every case, just one story I’d read. Honestly, I’ve been out of the loop, just returning from a 10-day cruise so am catching up on a lot of “stuff”. I will need to fill in the blanks in some stories.

She may be physically beautiful, but her personality seems deranged and very ugly.

“Kinda makes you wonder how Chelsea Hubble got into Stanford and Malia Obama got into Harvard, doesn’t it. I’m sure the political elite will be spared the embarrassment of their hypocrisy.”

Supposedly Hubble’s little princess was a National Merit Scholar. I suspect she got some special SAT grading “assistance”.

I can’t believe that anybody is the slightest bit surprised by this. This is how rich people roll. If their kids are too dumb or lazy to get into a good college, they buy their way in. How do you think divinity-school failure Al Gore got into Vanderbilt Law School? Al Gore is such an idiot that he couldn’t graduate with his dad on the faculty there. Without a rich a politically connected father, Al would’ve struggled anywhere and worked manual labor.

And not just this loser. When smart kids with good grades don’t make it, it’s because moron rich kids got his/her way bought in.

The real irony is that this idiot loser wouldn’t do anything with a college degree. I have no doubt that college was just a way for mom & dad to get her out of the ole homestead where she can go party, enjoy not living at home, and not want to come back. The real bonus would be for her little trust-fund baby to land some rich-kid frat boy so that she’d become his problem instead of theirs.

but an argument could be made that she was trying to better her children,

Same argument Mexican moms use to cheat at the border. Not right in either case.

I listened to her video.

Until 5 minutes ago I thought eugenics was a bad bad thing.

Now I’m not so sure...

Just FYI, I worked for the FBI and DOJ for 11 years after I retired from the Army. Everyone does NOT get the same treatment for fake tax deductions, tax evasion or any other crime for that matter. Selective and limited prosecution is standard practice in DOJ and it isn’t based on evidence.

Charles Rangel, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and many, many others have violated numerous US tax laws and have never done a day in prison. Likewise, Neil Bush (Eldorado S&L) and a number of other lily-white elites took down damn near the entire savings and loan industry, but how many of the elites went to prison or were even mentioned?

Can anything be done about this selective prosecution, in your opinion?
