Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin and a slew of chief executives are among 50 wealthy people charged in the largest college cheating scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice, federal officials said Tuesday.

Unless this ends in more than just a couple of scapegoats in prison orange, it will mean very little.
I see the Hollywood figures getting fines and suspended sentences. Cost of doing business for a Hollywood libtard.
I found the righteous indignation on the part of Princess Shovels Bull to be both funny and nauseating at the same time.
Don’t let these SOBs plead guilty and walk away without testifying, naming names etc...
Snore
This is not news
Who cares ?
“At USC, Doheny library was built to get his kid admitted.”
Possibly true, like 20%. Edward L. Doheny build a library in honor of his son at USC. He built a hospital at UCLA in honor of his wife.

Top universities have always had millionaires from Asia fly in and put $100,000 cash on the dean’s desk for a diploma. I have seen that in San Francisco. It’s crazy.
B.A. degrees from top American colleges are not worth the crime, like stealing a Ford Fiesta. The excellence is in American graduate schools. MIT is the best school.
And this is one of the results of Affirmative Action...white elites have to bribe their way in.
Unless you force your daughter to become a left handed lesbian lacrosse player.

The ringleader said he did this over 800 times!!
AOC’s dad is an architect.
The dummies simply could have had their kids go the Elizabeth Warren route and declare themselves Apaches.
And these are, no doubt, the same handwringing libs who will lecture us on white privilege, racism and a plethora of other wrongdoings.
A college education has become indoctrination. Once accepted, as long as they pay their tuition, they eventually graduate. Furthermore, the elite colleges are living on their reputation and have become the ultimate “good old boys club” controlled by elite liberals. Wake up America!
Methinks that would be VERY telling!
Been done already. I think by the Washington Free Beacon. The article is posted on FR.
It’s one Republican donor and a bunch of Dem donors.
I notice this ABC story is playing up the wealth and sports angle.
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll go find it.
This is the one time they may not be withholding their identity because they are black,illegal or muslim.
But because they are flaming rich white leftist.
I stand corrected.
Or, Kenyan.
