    Major Democratic Donors Among Wealthy Elite Netted In Massive College Bribery Scandal

    Major Democratic Donors Among Wealthy Elite Netted In Massive College Bribery Scandal

    Several of the wealthy parents netted in the FBI's "Operation Varsity Blues" are big money Democratic donors, including actress Felicity Huffman and her husband Willam H. Macy, who are accused of spending somewhere between $15,000 and $45,000 to "assist" their daughter in passing the SATs.


    The Washington Free Beacon reports that, of the 33 parents who paid a collective $25 million to scam their children into Ivy League and other selective schools, several are well-known for mingling with the who's who of Democratic elite.

    Huffman, for her part, is a routine Democratic donor, giving thousands to candidates over the years, according to public records. She's a big fan of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), but typically donates to ActBlue, a group that serves as a clearinghouse for Democratic candidates, allowing donors to bypass individual spending limits.


    Thanks to two high-profile indictments on the case (Huffman and fellow actress Lori Loughlin, who may be on the hook for serious wire fraud charges), other parents facing trouble with the FBI have been able to fly below the radar. But that group also includes a fair number of political power players.


    Gordon Caplan, the co-chairman of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, a huge law firm on the East Coast, spent $125,000, the Free Beacon reports, to have his daughter's SATs corrected before they were turned in to proctors. He "gave the maximum allowable donation to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. He donated an additional $25,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund and $22,300 to the Democratic National Committee in 2016, months before Clinton lost to Donald Trump. Caplan began giving to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) in 2005."

    What is a rich billionaire democrat who stuffs a billion into a Democrat Pac? Oh, that same thing the Dems call bad. For anyone who thinks Dems are angels, wake up. See George Soros/Hillary/Barrack.

    If there are CNN should be making it public knowledge soon I would guess.

    If by repub you mean Republicans I would posit the answer would be of course. This kind of elitism isn't limited to one party. These people hobnob together and as has been repeated several times there isn't a dimes worth of difference between Democrats or Republicans at the level these groups inhabit.

    Although, in as much as CNN has not put up the names of any Republican caught up in this there may not have been any.
