   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.

   New details continue to emerge about the alleged college   
   cheating scheme involving Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.   
      
   On Tuesday, March 12, E! News obtained court documents which   
   show that both Huffman and Loughlin have been charged with   
   conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.   
   The Desperate Housewives alum and the Fuller House star are   
   among over 40 individuals who have been charged in connection   
   with the scandal. According to the FBI affidavit, the scheme   
   involved getting students admitted into elite colleges.   
      
   "Beginning in or about 2011, and continuing through the present,   
   the defendants—principally individuals whose high-school aged   
   children were applying to college—conspired with others to use   
   bribery and other forms of fraud to facilitate their children's   
   admission to colleges and universities in the District of   
   Massachusetts and elsewhere, including Yale University, Stanford   
   University, the University of Texas, the University of Southern   
   California, and the University of California – Los Angeles,   
   among others," the affidavit states.   
      
   The same day that the news broke, E! News confirmed that 13   
   defendants were taken into custody in the Los Angeles area,   
   including defendant Huffman.   
      
   The FBI affidavit states that Huffman and her "spouse," William   
   H. Macy, made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000 to   
   participate in the scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter. She   
   "later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second time, for   
   her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so," the   
   document reads.   
      
   Huffman and Macy are parents to Sofia Grace Macy, 18, and   
   Georgia Grace Macy, 16.   
      
   Macy, who has not been charged, was seated it the gallery in   
   court on Tuesday afternoon as Huffman faced a judge.   
      
   Per the court orders, the Oscar nominee will surrender her   
   passport and is required to seek pre-trial approval for any   
   travel.   
      
   Huffman was also granted a signature bond of $250,000 and has   
   been ordered to appear in federal court in Boston on March 29.   
   The signature bond requires the 56-year-old actress to sign a   
   promise to return to court, but does not require a deposit of   
   any cash or property with the court.   
      
   While there are many theories as to why Macy has not been   
   charged in this FBI investigation—code name Operation Varsity   
   Blues—there's been no official statement from authorities.   
      
   New York Law School professor and former prosecutor Rebecca   
   Roiphe shared one theory with Vulture, stating, "One of the   
   possibilities is that the husband is far less culpable. Maybe   
   it's possible that the government has far more evidence than   
   it's laid out here, and in this evidence, that Huffman played a   
   far more significant role than her husband."   
      
   As for Loughlin, she surrendered to the FBI on Wednesday and was   
   taken into custody. She was later released on $1 million bond.   
      
   Loughlin will be allowed to retain her passport for travel on a   
   current project in British Columbia, her next court appearance   
   will be in Boston Federal court on March 29.   
      
   The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts   
   told E! News that Loughlin had not yet been arrested on Tuesday   
   morning as she was out of the country. She was contact by   
   federal authorities to come back and turn herself in. Loughlin's   
   husband Mossimo Giannulli was arrested Tuesday morning without   
   incident.   
      
   It's noted in the FBI affidavit, "The Guannullis agreed to a pay   
   bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two   
   daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team—despite   
   the fact that they did not participate in crew—thereby   
   facilitating their admission to USC."   
      
   Loughlin and Giannulli have two daughters, Isabella Rose, 20,   
   and YouTube star Olivia Jade, 19.   
      
   Meanwhile, William "Rick" Singer, 58, was charged racketeering   
   conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud   
   US and obstruction of justice for his alleged involvement in the
