10:35 AM PT -- Well, prosecutors did exactly what we reported early Tuesday morning. Since Lori did not cop a plea, the U.S. Attorney went to a Federal Grand Jury to get an indictment, adding charges of money laundering. This now increases the amount of time Lori and her husband would get as a minimum recommended sentence.
Specifically, the U.S. Attorney says, Lori, her husband and 14 others will now be charged with the additional crime of "conspiring to launder the bribes and other payment in furtherance of the fraud by funneling them through [Rick] Singer's purported charity and his for-profit corporation."
The money laundering charge alone carries a maximum 20 years in prison.

If they deducted it as a charitable contribution it’s also tax fraud.
The whole plea-bargaining thing is a travesty. Either prove the genuine, original charge, or don’t charge at all.
It’s just so a lazy DA can put another notch in his/her belt.
