Send your kid to hilldale or Grove City or Maine Maritime or Harvy Mudd.

Good educations at all...

Lori is going to wish she took the same route as Felicity.

Lori is in way deeper trouble. Much more money involved, and much more lawbreaking.

She absolutely has nothing to lose by putting up a hard fight.

There are many fine community colleges across the nation.


Not according to the FReepers here, who ridicule them. The community college in my hometown used to have an excellent reputation. It was started in the 1960’s, and the instructors there were very stable, and had very high academic standards, but unfortunately, having all began at the same time, most retired at the same time, which necessitated an all new faculty, pretty much all at once. No idea of its current quality.

So she paid a bribe to get her kid a spot in a public university with 50k students.

Obviously stupid, but...

Non-violent crime. No criminal record.

I don’t get the raging vindictiveness.

Based on this thread you would think she is Ted Bundy.

I would have made her pay the college tuition for a needy person!

“Is there any doubt that the Clintons used the same method to get their bonehead daughter into a prestige school?”

No doubt in my mind.

Supposedly she was a National Merit Scholar but i find that very hard to believe.

I’m hoping Lori gets acquitted and gets back to hallmark where she belongs. This scandal is such crap. This has been going on since the 1800’s.

14 days?! Probably spread across the next 4 months when it’s convenient for her. That’s justice alright.

She’s not wealthy or powerful enough. If she were as rich and powerful as the conspirators who made a prolonged attempt to overthrow the 2016 Presidential Election, she would never have gone to trial, would have been praised as a great hero by the Left, and would have wound up with a cushy job somewhere possibly in the Propaganda Machine.

agreed, but I wouldn’t bet any significant amount of money that they don’t punish her severely

I guess a 14 day )jail sentence (really a 2 weekend sentence), is considered a harsh punishment for the ELITE crowd. This is a miscarriage of justice by any reasonable standard. The judge should be disbarred along with the prosecuting attorney.

I have tried to find any crime committed. Apparently, she gave the bribe money to a charitable organization which was a front for the man who orchestrated the whole affair. Then she claimed a tax deduction for the charitable contribution.

The people indicted in this whole fraud were guilty of money laundering and tax evasion.
