NEW YORK, July 28 (Reuters) - A former White House education adviser under President Barack Obama was sentenced on Thursday to one year and one day in prison after pleading guilty to charges he stole more than $200,000 from a charter school network he founded.

Seth Andrew, 44, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John Cronan in Manhattan.

Andrew had previously paid $218,005 in restitution to the network Democracy Prep Public Schools, which teaches mostly lower-income people of color, and forfeited another $22,537.

*****

Prosecutors alleged that in 2019, Andrew looted escrow accounts for Democracy Prep's schools so he and his wife could qualify for a lower-rate mortgage on a $2.37 million apartment they bought on Manhattan's Central Park West.

Compare to the guy on J6 wearing the funny hat who was sentenced to 44 months in prisons for trespassing (after being held for a year without bail?).

It's this two-tiered "justice" system that will lead to BIG trouble.

Maybe he is taking the rap for Obozo and being well paid for it.
