   Liberal Democrats, too lazy and stupid to compete   
   scholastically.  This is the result of the present day inferior   
   California school system, once the envy of the entire free   
   world, after 40 years of Democrat control and parasitic   
   socialist union infestation.

   They’re not so smug now.   
      
   The daughter of a CEO whose parents allegedly paid big bribes to   
   get her into Georgetown University “gloated” about being fed the   
   answers to her SATs, according to prosecutors.   
      
   Isabelle Henriquez’s parents — Manuel, the founder and CEO of   
   Hercules Capital, and Elizabeth — were among dozens of well-   
   heeled moms and dads charged with bribing their kids’ way into   
   top colleges in the massive admissions scam that on Tuesday   
   rocked the nation.   
      
   The California couple allegedly paid the scheme’s mastermind,   
   William “Rick” Singer, more than $400,000 to get Isabelle into   
   the prestigious school where she is now a junior — as well as   
   helping her younger sister cheat on her own college-entrance   
   exam.   
      
   Singer allegedly talked Isabelle’s private college-prepar­atory   
   school into allowing one of his crooked proctors to fly in to   
   oversee the test.   
      
   Then “unbeknownst to the school, he sat side-by-side with the   
   daughter during the exam and provided her with answers to the   
   exam questions,” court documents allege.   
      
   Afterward, “he ‘gloated’ with Elizabeth Henriquez and her   
   daughter about the fact that they had cheated and gotten away   
   with it,” the criminal complaint reads.   
      
   Isabelle received a score of 1900 out of a possible 2400 on the   
   exam — “an improvement of 320 points” over her own best score.   
      
   But to grease the wheels of her admission even further, the   
   Henriquezes then allegedly worked with Singer to bribe   
   Georgetown’s then-head tennis coach, Gordon Ernst, to have her   
   designated as a recruited athlete.   
      
   Singer fabricated an essay and application for Isabelle that   
   falsely claimed she played “club tennis” through high school,   
   held a “top 50 ranking” in junior girls tennis for the United   
   States Tennis Association and was on the USTA all-academic team   
   for her junior and senior years, prosecutors allege.   
      
   “At her best, she appears to have ranked 207th in Northern   
   California in the under-12 girls division, with an overall   
   win/loss record of 2-8,” they write in the complaint.   
      
   Less than two weeks later, she received a letter from the   
   university saying it had reviewed her application at the request   
   of tennis coach and that her admission was “likely” — and she   
   was ultimately accepted.   
      
   Many of the students caught up in the bribery scandal were   
   purportedly in the dark about what their parents were up to —   
   but the criminal complaint ­alleges Isabelle was a willing   
   participant.   
      
   Since arriving at Georgetown, she has declared her major in   
   Spanish, scored a gig as the promotions officer for the school’s   
   student-spirit organization and is president of a group that   
   tutors kids at a local middle school, according to her LinkedIn   
   page.   
      
   She says she interned for her father’s firm in 2018, is   
   currently an investment-banking intern at Compass Point Research   
   & Trading — and is slated to be a summer wealth-management   
   analyst at Big Apple financial-services company Jefferies.   
      
   In a now-deleted post on a blog for a sociology class, she wrote   
   that she is “very self-motivated” and has a “a good moral   
   compass” when choosing friends.   
      
   Isabelle’s Georgetown acceptance was apparently such a success   
   that her parents also allegedly paid to have Singer’s proctor   
   repeat the cheating stunt for their younger daughter on both the   
   ACT and SAT exams.   
      
   The dad on Wednesday “voluntarily stepped aside” as chairman and   
   CEO of Hercules Capital after the company’s shares plummeted by   
   as much as 10 percent when the scandal broke.   
      
   He and his wife turned themselves in Tuesday and were each   
   released on $500,000 bond.   
      
   Both looked stunned as they appeared in court, with Manuel   
   shaking his head and looking at the ground as the judge   
   explained the charges against them, according to Bloomberg.   
      
   Georgetown said it wouldn’t comment on individual students, but
