Pamela Anderson, the Donald Trump of diplomacy, is furious that Ecuador– which she spells Equador–has kicked Julian Assange out of their London embassy. He’s been arrested by the UK after six years, and will likely be extradicted to the US.

Anderson writes on Twitter: “I am in shock.. I couldn’t hear clearly what he said? He looks very bad. How could you Equador ? (Because he exposed you). How could you UK. ? Of course – you are America’s bitch and you need a diversion from your idiotic Brexit bullshit”

She added: “And the USA ? This toxic coward of a President He needs to rally his base? – You are selfish and cruel. You have taken the entire world backwards. You are devils and liars and thieves. And you will ROTT And WE WILL RISE ✊”

The WikiLeaks Twitter feed predicted the arrest on April 4th. They wrote today: “Powerful actors, including CIA, are engaged in a sophisticated effort to dehumanise, delegitimize and imprison him.”

From the looks of her Twitter account, Anderson — not a powerful actor — seemed to know something was coming. The aging pin up and one time star of the TV show “Baywatch” posted a pin up picture with a quote from the late writer Charles Bukowski yesterday:

Yesterday, Felicity Huffman and a group of parents pleaded guilty in the college admissions scandal. They could get jail time, but it’s unlikely. They seem to be facing fines and probation.

We wondered what had happened to Lori Loughlin, her busband, and the other parents.

Now that other shoe has dropped, so to speak. Loughlin, husband Massimo Gianulli, and 14 other parents have been indicted a second time, this time the charge includes fraud and money laundering. The Gianulli’s used a half a million bucks to bribe ringers to take their daughters’ SAT tests and so on. That $500,000 was a lot of money compared to Huffman’s meager $15,000. Now we know why.

According to the US Attorney in Boston:

“The defendants, all of whom were arrested last month on a criminal complaint, are charged with conspiring with William “Rick” Singer, 58, of Newport Beach, Calif., and others, to bribe SAT and ACT exam administrators to allow a test taker to secretly take college entrance exams in place of students, or to correct the students’ answers after they had taken the exam, and with bribing university athletic coaches and administrators to facilitate the admission of students to elite universities as purported athletic recruits.

“The second superseding indictment also charges the defendants with conspiring to launder the bribes and other payments in furtherance of the fraud by funneling them through Singer’s purported charity and his for-profit corporation, as well as by transferring money into the United States, from outside the United States, for the purpose of promoting the fraud scheme.”

This group includes:

1. Gamal Abdelaziz, 62, aka “Gamal Aziz,” of Las Vegas, Nev.;
2. Diane Blake, 55, of Ross, Calif.;
3. Todd Blake, 53, of Ross, Calif.;
4. I-Hsin “Joey” Chen, 64, of Newport Beach, Calif.;
5. Mossimo Giannulli, 55, of Los Angeles, Calif.;
6. Elizabeth Henriquez, 56, of Atherton, Calif.;
7. Manuel Henriquez, 56, of Atherton, Calif.;
8. Douglas Hodge, 61, of Laguna Beach, Calif.;
9. Michelle Janavs, 48, of Newport Coast, Calif.;
10. Elisabeth Kimmel, 54, of Las Vegas, Nev.;
11. Lori Loughlin, 54, of Los Angeles, Calif.;
12. William McGlashan, Jr., 55, of Mill Valley, Calif.;
13. Marci Palatella, 63, of Hillsborough, Calif.;
14. John Wilson, 59, of Lynnfield, Mass.;
15. Homayoun Zadeh, 57, of Calabasas, Calif.; and
16. Robert Zangrillo, 52, of Miami, Fla.


Again: this is SERIOUS. All these people will be arraigned again will have to plea guilty or not guilty. The charge of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss, whichever is greater. The charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $500,000 or twice the value of the property involved in the money laundering. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Actress Felicity Huffman is one of more than a dozen parents pleading guilty in the college admissions scam. Lori Loughlin is not in this group.

Huffman said in a statement: “I am pleading guilty to the charge brought against me by the United States Attorney’s Office. I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those actions.”

She added: “I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community. I want to apologize to them and, especially, I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly. My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her. This transgression toward her and the public I will carry for the rest of my life. My desire to help my daughter is no excuse to break the law or engage in dishonesty.”

Huffman paid the least amount of money in the scandal, but is getting headlines because of her fame in Hollywood. Others paid much more, including Loughlin who coughed up $500,000. One day we’ll hear why Huffman did it. It makes no sense. She and husband William H. Macy are the last ones anyone would think would do this.

From the press release:
The following defendants were charged in an Information with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud and have agreed to plead guilty pursuant to plea agreements:

In addition, Bruce Isackson, 61, and Davina Isackson, 55, of Hillsborough, Calif., were charged in a separate Information and have both agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. Bruce Isackson will also plead guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to defraud the IRS. The Isacksons agreed to pay {William “Rick”] Singer an amount, ultimately totaling $600,000, to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme for their younger daughter and the college recruitment scheme for both of their daughters. The Isacksons also underpaid their federal income taxes by deducting the bribe payments as purported charitable contributions. The Isacksons are cooperating with the government’s investigation.

Michael Center, 54, of Austin, Texas, the former head coach of men’s tennis at the University of Texas at Austin, was charged in a third Information and has agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. In 2015, Center personally accepted $60,000 in cash from Singer, as well as $40,000 directed to the University of Texas tennis program, in exchange for designating the child of one of Singer’s clients as a tennis recruit, thereby facilitating his admission to the University of Texas.

All of the defendants who improperly took tax deductions for the bribe payments have agreed to cooperate with the IRS to pay back taxes.
