PROSECUTORS PLAYING HARDBALL (SO FAR) IN ADMISSIONS SCANDAL

by Bob Walsh

At this stage of the game federal prosecutors are asserting that they want some time in the slammer for everybody involved in the admissions cheating scandal.

The charges currently are for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. They could get 20 years. Realistically they are looking at 6-20 months. Or at least semi-realistically. Does anybody really think that Lori Laughlin and Felicity Huffman are going to club fed? I grant you it is possible, even deserving, but.......

I understand one of Laughlin's ungrateful daughters has already unloaded on her and daddy, claiming that she didn't want to go to college anyway and now she has lost all of her cushy endorsement deals.

Most of the parents are expected to make deals by the middle of this month. There are 33 parents charged, as well as assorted participants on the other side of the equation.
