Daily Signal:
Fifty-two defendants and counting.
That’s how many people have been indicted or otherwise charged in the college admissions and testing-bribery scandal.
When the story first broke last spring, we wrote that the first round of indictments had to be the tip of the iceberg, because over time, those in the government crosshairs would sing like a bird—and boy, have they ever.
So, what has happened since the story first broke, and where does this sordid saga go from here?
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts took the lead in these cases. As we detailed here and here, the case broke wide open in March, when the government unsealed an indictment and criminal complaint against scores of parents who were desperate to get their kids into colleges they otherwise could not get into on their own merit, passing them off as recruited athletes.
The 52nd defendant is Xiaoning Sui, from British Columbia, Canada. She was arrested in Spain this week and charged by indictment in federal district court in Boston. Extradition proceedings to get her back to the United States will start soon. read more
With Felicity getting 14 days, it looks like those that spent the bribe money to get their kids into college will be getting slaps on the wrist & those that received the money will get much longer sentences, & those that had the smallest involvement & received the smallest amounts of money getting major prison sentences.
As a part of the sentence, the kids getting admission should have to work at McDonald’s for a year.
Hardly a ringing endorsement for an institution of higher learning.
Smart Asians, not wanted, dumb athletes, welcome.
Gee Wally, Hypocrisy comes at a price.
Yeah Beave, it just may become the new status symbol for the “Elite”…
Just darken your face, and have the NAACP speak to the admissions department, you’ll get in.
So, wealthy people utilizing their wealth to help advance their progeny are being perp walked to the big house but dangerous, malicious, traitorous pols walk free…….. Yeah, I get it.

So that’s why blacks are so upset over black face! Whites could use blackface for their kids in order to successfully glom onto college admissions Affirmative Action procedures, preferences, and acceptance!
Cracker speaks the truth. College for political privilege, jail for everyone else.

And the … who’s that other famous moron from rich stock with a law degree?
izlamo delenda est …
If they wanted to get their kid in the school donate a million. Works every time. This 50K shit is not big enough to get admissions attention.
These people are crazy. Everyone knows the way to get into Harvard is going on TV and spewing hatred of conservatives.
