   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.

   A financial fraudster desperate for leniency from the feds   
   tipped off investigators to the massive college-ad missions   
   bribery scandal, then wore a wire to help bring down the cheats,   
   a report said Thursday.   
      
   With his back to the wall in an alleged pump-and-dump scheme,   
   Los Angeles financier Morrie Tobin offered up a tip that would   
   turn into the biggest college-admissions fraud the feds have   
   ever prosecuted, according to The Wall Street Journal.   
      
   In a bid for mercy, the Yale grad told investigators that   
   Rudolph “Rudy” Meredith, the head women’s soccer coach at the   
   Ivy League school, solicited $450,000 from him in exchange   
   for recommending Tobin’s daughter for admission as an athletic   
   recruit, a source told the Journal.   
      
   Tobin agreed to wear a wire during a meeting in a Boston hotel   
   room with Meredith — who then also began cooperating.   
      
   That, in turn, led the feds to admitted mastermind William   
   “Rick” Singer, a California college-prep expert who raked in   
   more than $25?million from wealthy parents to get their   
   underqualified kids into top schools, including Yale, Wake   
   Forest, Georgetown and Stanford.   
      
   Through a 10-month investigation dubbed Operation Varsity Blues,   
   investigators learned the scam dated as far back as 2011 and   
   involved dozens of allegedly crooked ACT and SAT proctors,   
   college athletic coaches and parents.   
      
   “Fuller House” actress Lori Loughlin, her fashion-designer   
   husband, Mossimo Giannulli, and former “Desperate Housewives”   
   star Felicity Huffman were among the indicted.   
      
   Tobin, who was not charged in Operation Varsity Blues, is   
   awaiting sentencing after taking a plea deal in the financial-   
   fraud case, according to the Journal. An FBI spokeswoman from   
   the Boston field office said the overall securities-fraud   
   investigation is still ongoing.   
      
   Singer for years ran Edge College & Career Network of Newport   
   Beach, Calif. The feds say he secretly had his well-heeled   
   clients funnel money into a sham charity so he could pay off his   
   cohorts to weasel their kids into school.   
      
   One parent, a Silicon Valley investor, said Singer proposed   
   using a “side door” to get his teen into USC under the guise of   
   being a football player — but the proposal left the dad feeling   
   “dirty,” he told Axios.   
      
   “[Singer] kept pushing it, but I finally just said to give some   
   other child the opportunity,” said the parent, who hasn’t been   
   approached by law enforcement.   
      
   USC said it would conduct a case-by-case review for any current   
   students and graduates who may be connected to the alleged   
   scheme.
