FBI Protected Woman Who Made $200 Mil Selling 8,000 Children

 She Spent Only 3 Months In Minimum Security Prison.

Cole’s stepson, Robert E. Hughes III, still works for the FBI. He was assigned to investigate her case by Andy McCabe, who at the time, was Acting Director of the FBI.

Washington Standard:
Chalk this up to just one more reason the Federal Bureau of Investigation should be abolished, along with the whole of Washington DC.  The FBI, once again, has been found guilty of protecting criminals and the justice system guilty of failing to provide justice.  A judge has found that the FBI protected a mother who sold up to 8,000 children for $200 million over 4 decades.  Her sentence?  She got 3 months in a minimum security prison.

ABC7 reports:

Margaret Cole, the former owner of European Adoption Consultants, was sentenced today in United States District Court in the Northern District of Ohio to three months in federal prison, and three years supervised release plus 12 months of home confinement. Cole has to pay a $7,500 fine.

This comes on the heels of her pleading guilty on February 4 to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of making a false statement to the Polish Central authority in front of Federal Court Judge James Gwin in a Zoom hearing 7News attended in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Ohio.

The 74-year-old woman, who told the court she suffered from PTSD, high blood pressure and vertigo, accepted a plea deal from the U.S. Department of Justice that she had previously turned down in January. MORE

  3. “told the court she suffered from PTSD”

    …Quit with that already
    .

    Not everyone who has the vapors has PTSD.

    It’s become the Global Warming on insanity plea deals.

    And definitely cheapens the warriors, police, medical professionals, and firefighters who may actually LEGIT have it.

  5. I have to comment on the tacit implication of this story, and that is within the accusation of “selling children.” It implies that the families who adopted the children were buying them. Adoption, both foreign and domestic, are generally a very normal, very regulated event. Prospective adoptive parents are sized up by every gov’t entity from the county to the feds. They undergo extensive evaluations, background checks, financial fitness, and so on.

    Just want to clear up the any confusion about “selling children.” The woman in this story committed fraud on many levels and against the adoptive parents. The adoption process can (and usually do) present many hardships for prospective parents. What this woman did was terrible, and it’s horrifying the FBI was in on it, and didn’t put a stop to it.

  7. “With respect to the Uganda scheme, the indictment alleges that Parris and Mirembe, together with others, engaged in a scheme to pay bribes to Ugandan officials to corruptly procure the adoption of Ugandan children by families in the United States, including the adoption of children who were not properly determined to be orphaned and who had to be ultimately returned to their birth parents.”

  9. This evil woman claims all these medical conditions in an apparent bid for leniency.
    Harvey Weinstein has a deformed dick.
    Ghislaine Maxwell has daddy issues.
    I have zero F*CKs left to give to these degenerates. All the so-called troubles you allegedly have didn’t stop you from being a worthless piece of crap.
    These same “troubles” are not a “get out of jail free” card. Tell your sad story to the hard-core criminals who share your jail cell for the next 50 years.

  13. Sheeewww let’s take a look see at the Methodist Children’s Home Societies here in the United States. The one in TN was well documented, a book and documentary covered it. But state by state they didn’t care where the kids came from, it was big money. In the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s single mothers were ruthlessly targeted in hospitals. I personally know an impoverished newly divorced woman who was threatened that if she didn’t surrender her baby, police would come to her house to seize her sons as she was “making poor decisions” wanting to keep her third child. Her newborn baby was rehomed for a fee of $10,000. In 1971 dollars. Let’s adjust for inflation, shall we?

    I know because I’ve spoken to all the witnesses in both the birth family and the adoptive family, the agency worker that arranged it, even the delivery nurse that contacted the agency. Family Court Intermediaries will tell you how commonplace this practice was. If you haven’t guessed by now, I was the baby.

    The phrase used now is “unethically procured for adoption”. That’s an understatement.
