Before this story has played out to its conclusion, I will figure out how to turn it into a fine powder and snort it. Ingesting it in dribs and drabs over the course of the day simply isn’t enough. (Snip)History may record that the single most glorious populist triumph of this era was Trump’s DOJ sending Aunt Becky down for 5-10 for handing out fat envelopes to get her dumb kids into their dream school. Or, rather, her dream school.If I were Trump, I’d run on it next year. “She has been in complete denial

It’s disgraceful that in 2019 America, which is literally governed by a reality-show host,....
I´ll take the reality show host over the African Strong-man Wannabe any day of the week. Abu bin Bama has been compared to true Americans and found wanting.

Hey, Jessie got off.
Hollyweird thinks the rules are for the little people and Leftists in charge of justice in many places prove them right.

Paying half a million dollars in bribes is enough to get the Feds´ attention. She is truly stupid if she thought she´d get a slap on the wrist for what she did. She´s not a minority with friends in high places like Smollett or dealing with a local corrupt prosecutor with the same friends.

Hot Air is full of its name and demonstrably anti-Trump and the aptly named allahpundit is one of their worst.
FTA: lHistory may record that the single most glorious populist triumph of this era was Trump’s DOJ sending Aunt Becky down for 5-10 for handing out fat envelopes to get her dumb kids into their dream school. Or, rather, her dream school.”
Nuff said!

And her daughter didn´t even want to go to college. When I went, tuition to my state college was 125 a semester. I worked as as a student worker and during the summer and graduated with no debt. I worked two jobs and she worked one to get my daughter through college in the 1980´s and she has no student debt. Now, she is worried to death about her own children and what they may face. I´ve worked at a college for almost 40 years. It´s unsustainable.

Hallmark Lori needs to get in touch right away with Heidi Fleiss and ask for advice on how to snuggle up to one special inmate in order to be left alone by all the other inmates.

I don´t condone what she and her husband did but there is still a great justice divide. You have congress critters who have done a whole lot more damage in stealing hundreds and thousands of dollars with insider trading, famous people Al Sharpton years of not paying his taxes and yet he still walks free as a bird and last and not least Hillary. Whole laundry list of scot free no consequences actions from white collar money laundering, national secret leakin, etc. Yet they got full throttle on an actress and her husband. Yup justice isn´t blind, it is selective.

It´s no defense to say others got away with it or got away with worse. This is one case and it´s a bad one. I hope she spends a bit of jail time, even if it´s short term.

I worked in the legal field for 25 years. If the feds have charged you, you are much better off to take a plea deal than go to court. The feds lose very few cases.
She is not facing the reality of the very tough situation she is in.

Ostensibly, we´re worried about equal justice under the law here. Rich, arrogant, famous person thinks she´s better than us, right? So we want to crucify her. Because it´s just not fair. If her dumb Buffy can buy a slot at a "prestigious" university, then why can´t my smart Biff get in on merit?
So we light the torches and rampage into the village seeking this criminal. Meanwhile, there´s a gazillionaire in a pantsuit sitting fat and happy in Chappaqua who´s guilty of crimes against our country that involve the loss of innocent lives, putting our national security at risk, and generally undermining of our Constitution. Her rap sheet includes things like Vince Foster, Whitewater, Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation, misogyny against Bill´s gal pals, trying to steal an election through fraud, among others.
Sure, all crimes should be prosecuted if we want to maintain a civil society. But if we´re not prosecuting the ones that actually hurt the average citizen, what difference, at this point, does it make if we prosecute the ones that don´t?

If Martha Stewart can do Lori Loughlin can do it. Maybe get one of those barbed wire tattoos on her bicep to show all her fiends she did time in ´the big house´.

I don’t read snotty Allahpundit. Anyone who believes that President Trump was just a reality show host is seriously uninformed and more probably a Dem hiding behind a phony mask.

The writer, Allahpundit, didn´t say "just" a reality show host. He was simply pointing out the similarity. Even his most ardent supporters surely don´t deny Trump had great success in that role. It´s nothing to be embarrassed about. The President certainly isn´t.

Yeah, lets let some rapists and murderers and gang bangers and drug dealers out of prison to make room for these "dangerous" rich people!!!!
These rich people were pretty evil. But they didn´t cause any physical harm to anyone. They are not a risk in the least to cause physical harm to anyone in the future. So fine them a few million dollars, make them do a few hundred hours of hard and dirty community service, and put them on house arrest when they aren´t out doing their community service!!!
But, for God´s sake, don´t waste a prison cell on them to make some "point" when the evil and violent criminals of this country need that space!!!!!

I stand by #19. A read for context is also helpful, as is a writer’s previous history.
Lori Loughlin is either as airhead as her second daughter Olivia (the elder one seems to be quite different) or she is disingenuous. Probably both. The feds do not bluff.
I wonder if her little Target clothing line “designer” husband, who always walks several paces behind her as she sashays to court, will hang around after all of the dust settles. Her conduct since her indictment has not been very smart.

She is a product of her own theatrical culture in LaLa land, which is apparently totally elitist and views itself above the Rule of Law. While it may be understandable in that communal hollyweird world of fantasy, it must be a shock for them to discover that Lady Justice is indeed blind in America and each individual is equally responsible & accountable to BOTH God and country.
The juvenile excuse that, ´everyone is doing it,´ comes to mind. ...There is no safety in numbers no matter how many are choosing to break the law, as in America each individual makes his/her own choices. That´s what freedom is all about! We do reap what we sow.

Until the money laundering charge was added, here is what she and the others were charged with:
There is no federal statute under the U.S Law that prohibits or regulates any type of private or commercial bribery. There is a way for prosecutors to try people for bribery by using existing laws. Section 1346 of Title 18 can be used by prosecutors, to try people for ‘a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right to honest services,’ under the mail and wire fraud statutes. [4] Prosecutors have always successfully prosecuted private company employees for breaching a fiduciary duty and taking bribes, under Honest services fraud.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bribery
Bribery, when it involves private institutions like many of the universities, is very tricky to prosecute. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
What they did was outrageous. Determining the victims and how many there who can be proved to have been harmed by these people’s actions will be difficult.

So small time. Bernie´s wife managed to enrich herself and friends while wiping out an entire college, not just jumping line for one student.
Allahpundit? Isn´t he/she/it the writer for a stupid webspew, who built up a real estate empire and business that employs thousands? No wonder he/she/it can mock PRESIDENT Trump.

First, she committed a crime and should be punished, just like some people in Washington who haven´t been convicted or paid their dues.
She walked into that courtroom almost giddy, like she had bribed the judge too. That could be why people are hating on her. The spoiled daughters should have a stint too to give them some humility.
