Which makes me think that Huffman is going to do time as well. She plead because she’s guilty and did not want to get hit with any more charges and do more time.

Who is her lawyer? Unless she really has a viable defense (which hasn’t been reported), she should have taken the deal.

So in which prison will they be opening the “Hollywood Wing”? Looks like they’ll have a few members checking in soon.

Considering the amount of monies involved in this scam, I simply cannot believe that Singer was the ONLY crooked lawyer doing this.

Too much money + too much greed + too many schools + too many lawyers = RICO!

I’m sure they all donated huge money to Obama, so time to call in the chits like Juicy was able to do. There may be a straight and melatonin deficiency hitch to that angle, though.

Or maybe a change of venue to Chicago should fix things right up.

They haven't even started on the tax evasion charges yet.

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."

Something about this sounds familiar...

Wow, wish prosecutors would go this hard with illegals that killed Americans, or child molesters, or how about liberal democrat crimes (which are many).

President Trump and the Department Of Justice are not afraid to investigate and prosecute rich, famous white women.

Maybe the Hallmark Channel will renew their contract with Lori and feature some grueling prison movies.

She is playing the odds. A lot can happen on the way to the gallows. She could get pardoned, the evidence could get lost or tainted. Prosecutor moves on, the judge assigned doesn’t believe it is a real crime. Maybe it looked like 2 years for sure, 4 years when she pleads at the day of trial on the higher charge. Crap shoot. Never a sure thing when liberals are in the frame.

As someone who went to a big name school honestly, and then worked hard to get a degree that had great value both based on my own work and the good reputation of the school I am very resentful of people who abuse the system.

Their kids are spending vacations in Europe while dozens of serious students who see an education as a way to improve their life are working their hearts out to get even modestly ahead.

The dim bulb kids of these celebrities devalue the credentials of those who worked to get them.

We are dealing here with the “rich, famous, and powerful”.

I’d put in a RICO charge, too.

Some of the bribers now have tax problems b/c they listed the bribe as a “charitable donation to the fake foundation”

They even got written letters in return that said, “Thank you for your generous donation.”

To make the bribes appear legitimate they received receipts falsely indicating that “no goods or services were exchanged” for their supposed donations to the foundation, according to authorities.

Loughlin and her husband allegedly hid their payments in two $200,000 wire transfers to the “charity” to get their daughters into USC.

Another couple allegedly made a contribution of $400,000 to secure admission for their daughter to Georgetown. One family is accused of “donating” $900,000.

Huffman paid $15,000 to the fake “foundation” on behalf of her eldest daughter, according to the FBI.
