This FBI indictment is making my lunch a wonderful break “FBI accuses wealthy parents, including celebrities, in college-entrance bribery scheme” - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/world/national…
I wonder how many wealthy folks with kids in college are now calling their lawyers and asking “for a friend” about a hypothetical situation where their kid “might” have cheated on their SAT or completed their application with a donation on the side.
Best thing about high profile FBI indictment on college entrance fraud is that it is likely to generate a lot of leads pointing to other such bogus college entrance operations.

People are worried about government surveillance, guess again This is an important story and surprised it’s not being discussed more. I beg people to read, this is a new world, do we want to live this way? nytimes.com/2019/03/21/us/… via ⁦@nytimes⁩
Democratic institutions, non- profits, think tanks, journalists, activists - its an authoritarian & corporate heyday right now. The absence of American leadership globally is a free for all. No rules, no norms, no consequences.

I disagree with the framing of "Mueller report delivery" currently being repeated...Why do we believe Barr hasn't already received a report? How would we know? At a minimum I imagine Barr has been briefed in detail. I see Rosenstein staying as a sign.
Mueller report delivery is likely a little anti-climatic as to how its being discussed publicly, it won't be carried on a chariot into the DoJ with a big ceremony. AG Barr took office a month ago, after getting settled, I'd imagine he wanted a FULL update on the SCO investigation
I'd guess by week 3/4, Barr in discussions with SCO types of reports to be delivered, see here for good perspective washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/… we've already seen key departures SCO in both investigators & prosecutors, signs SCO investigation splintered into multiple jurisdictions

“The massive scheme was discovered accidentally by the FBI — while working an unrelated undercover operation, officials said. That tip led to a sprawling, nationwide corruption probe.”
OMG I AM SO CURIOUS NAO
We did warn you about charity fraud, did we not? “He is accused of disguising the bribery scheme as a charity, enabling parents to deduct the bribes from their taxes.”

🌿Stay Strong!🌿

President Obama:

"Are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?"

PM May says images of caged children in U.S. 'deeply disturbing
🌿Stay Strong!2🌿

Charity CEO running migrant kids' shelters earns $1.5 million

Trump’s EO does not solve the problem.

It does nothing to reunify the 2,300 children who have been taken from their parents.

Trump is hiring prosecutors to make sure all parents are prosecuted.
🌿Stay Strong!3🌿

ICE Spokesman resigns, saying he could no longer spread falsehoods for the Trump Administration. Bravo!

No words. GOP is using jailed babies as leverage effect Trumps agenda & doing their best to dehumanize immigrants & cast them all as heinous criminals 🤮
