RUSH TRANSCRIPT Welcome back ░░░░░░░░ felicity Hoffman is expected ░░░░░░░░ plead guilty for her ░░░░░░░░ in a college admissions ░░░░░░░░ The Desperate housewives star ░░░░░░░░ guilty She paid 15 ░░░░░░░░ to a fake charity ░░░░░░░░ facilitate cheating on her ░░░░░░░░ s S A T ░░░░░░░░ A source close to ░░░░░░░░ Loughlin said she is ░░░░░░░░ more and more confident ░░░░░░░░ escaping jail time They ░░░░░░░░ accused of paying 500 ░░░░░░░░ to get their daughters ░░░░░░░░ the university of southern ░░░░░░░░ Sources familiar with the ░░░░░░░░ tell the L A ░░░░░░░░ Loughlin daughters are let ░░░░░░░░ bring P in a ░░░░░░░░ rights attorney and criminal ░░░░░░░░ you first So Loughlin ░░░░░░░░ feels like she has ░░░░░░░░ valid defense That you ░░░░░░░░ it is not likely ░░░░░░░░ ll be looking at ░░░░░░░░ jail what could her ░░░░░░░░ look like Well you ░░░░░░░░ what It s going ░░░░░░░░ be anybody s guess ░░░░░░░░ I think if I ░░░░░░░░ trying to tailor something ░░░░░░░░ m going to say ░░░░░░░░ like hey look any ░░░░░░░░ parent under the circumstance ░░░░░░░░ do the same thing ░░░░░░░░ problem with that argument ░░░░░░░░ that the federal judge ░░░░░░░░ a jury Unless somehow ░░░░░░░░ engendered some kind of ░░░░░░░░ she s counting on ░░░░░░░░ lone juror This is ░░░░░░░░ kind of case like ░░░░░░░░ J Or Michael Jackson ░░░░░░░░ you re going to ░░░░░░░░ stealth jurors So it ░░░░░░░░ a very weak argument ░░░░░░░░ think they blew it ░░░░░░░░ entering a plea early ░░░░░░░░ There has been a ░░░░░░░░ indictment At the end ░░░░░░░░ the day the theory ░░░░░░░░ that s it and ░░░░░░░░ Rick singer is going ░░░░░░░░ be supportive which I ░░░░░░░░ much doubt He was ░░░░░░░░ one in charge of ░░░░░░░░ scheme Right They have ░░░░░░░░ Okay Richard according to ░░░░░░░░ LA times federal prosecutors ░░░░░░░░ have not targeted Loughlin ░░░░░░░░ daughters in the scandal ░░░░░░░░ some other kids involved ░░░░░░░░ the scandal have received ░░░░░░░░ letters What s with ░░░░░░░░ disparity I think what ░░░░░░░░ going to happen Fred ░░░░░░░░ you see it laid ░░░░░░░░ before you how to ░░░░░░░░ when you re indicted ░░░░░░░░ facing prison time and ░░░░░░░░ not to act Felicity ░░░░░░░░ has done everything She ░░░░░░░░ contrite apologetic and offered ░░░░░░░░ plea deal Loughlin is ░░░░░░░░ LA La Land This ░░░░░░░░ federal court Boston This ░░░░░░░░ a very tough strict ░░░░░░░░ judge she s facing ░░░░░░░░ her to walk around ░░░░░░░░ she feels very confident ░░░░░░░░ she s going to ░░░░░░░░ acquitted in a federal ░░░░░░░░ trial in Boston is ░░░░░░░░ marbles Fred She s ░░░░░░░░ it When the government ░░░░░░░░ up in the opening ░░░░░░░░ says we are so ░░░░░░░░ to be representing the ░░░░░░░░ States of America against ░░░░░░░░ Loughlin reality might begin ░░░░░░░░ set in Well This ░░░░░░░░ has blown Because they ░░░░░░░░ handled it differently than ░░░░░░░░ one being very contrite ░░░░░░░░ differently will it mean ░░░░░░░░ penalties will be different ░░░░░░░░ the confidence might lead ░░░░░░░░ a stiffer penalty versus ░░░░░░░░ contrite and more lenient ░░░░░░░░ it work like that ░░░░░░░░ guidelines control the sentencing ░░░░░░░░ She s looking at ░░░░░░░░ maximum of 40 years ░░░░░░░░ prison if convicted on ░░░░░░░░ counts She won t ░░░░░░░░ 40 She s a ░░░░░░░░ time offender There is ░░░░░░░░ issue First time criminal ░░░░░░░░ Fred she could get ░░░░░░░░ years in prison for ░░░░░░░░ this If she goes ░░░░░░░░ trial and gets convicted ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ Fred I d be ░░░░░░░░ if Felicity Huffman gets ░░░░░░░░ day in prison If ░░░░░░░░ Loughlin gets convicted she ░░░░░░░░ going to prison Wow ░░░░░░░░ I think the federal ░░░░░░░░ results prosecutors are holding ░░░░░░░░ Loughlin s head the ░░░░░░░░ of targeting the daughters ░░░░░░░░ is extremely serious The ░░░░░░░░ of touting the sense ░░░░░░░░ I m feeling more ░░░░░░░░ that I m going ░░░░░░░░ beat this thing If ░░░░░░░░ think about it given ░░░░░░░░ fact the prosecutors are ░░░░░░░░ probably saying look your ░░░░░░░░ they re young they ░░░░░░░░ what was going on ░░░░░░░░ know that you said ░░░░░░░░ were affiliated with the ░░░░░░░░ Angeles marina club which ░░░░░░░░ t even exist kind ░░░░░░░░ fabricated I mean goodness ░░░░░░░░ the whole family is ░░░░░░░░ the middle of all ░░░░░░░░ Fred I see You ░░░░░░░░ saying they would have ░░░░░░░░ prove that the daughter ░░░░░░░░ would have to prove ░░░░░░░░ the daughters you know ░░░░░░░░ facilitate or were party ░░░░░░░░ crafting the pictures I ░░░░░░░░ The parents actually paid ░░░░░░░░ You don t know ░░░░░░░░ Rick sing every going ░░░░░░░░ say in trying to ░░░░░░░░ out of the mess ░░░░░░░░ he is in Is ░░░░░░░░ going to be supporting ░░░░░░░░ government I got a ░░░░░░░░ he is Richard The ░░░░░░░░ were admitted to usc ░░░░░░░░ members of the crew ░░░░░░░░ They didn t even ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ they took pictures The ░░░░░░░░ had to have known ░░░░░░░░ s what s going ░░░░░░░░ happen The government is ░░░░░░░░ to tell Lori who ░░░░░░░░ feeling so good listen ░░░░░░░░ ll invite your daughters ░░░░░░░░ you don t take ░░░░░░░░ deem They ve already ░░░░░░░░ them that Let s ░░░░░░░░ what every mother would ░░░░░░░░ in those shoes will ░░░░░░░░ make a deal or ░░░░░░░░ It is not a ░░░░░░░░ case 500 000 per ░░░░░░░░ paid to get into ░░░░░░░░ Let s see what ░░░░░░░░ defense is Fred It ░░░░░░░░ not going to happen ░░░░░░░░ s in big trouble ░░░░░░░░ Ouch That s something ░░░░░░░░ There s a lot ░░░░░░░░ ahead Avery Richard always ░░░░░░░░ to see you Thank ░░░░░░░░ so much Happy mother ░░░░░░░░ day Fred Happy mother ░░░░░░░░ day That s right ░░░░░░░░ you so much Appreciate ░░░░░░░░ Take care Still ahead ░░░░░░░░ Trump in a new ░░░░░░░░ says it would be ░░░░░░░░ for him to have ░░░░░░░░ U S Attorney general ░░░░░░░░ the Biden family Is ░░░░░░░░ president opening himself RUSH ░░░░░░░░ Welcome back Actress felicity ░░░░░░░░ is expected to plead ░░░░░░░░ for her role in ░░░░░░░░ college admissions scandal The ░░░░░░░░ housewives star pled guilty ░░░░░░░░ paid 15 000 to ░░░░░░░░ fake charity to facilitate ░░░░░░░░ on her daughter s ░░░░░░░░ A T Exam A ░░░░░░░░ close to Lori Loughlin ░░░░░░░░ she is feeling more ░░░░░░░░ more confident about escaping ░░░░░░░░ time They are accused ░░░░░░░░ paying 500 000 to ░░░░░░░░ their daughters into the ░░░░░░░░ of southern California Sources ░░░░░░░░ with the investigation tell ░░░░░░░░ L A Times Loughlin ░░░░░░░░ are let s bring ░░░░░░░░ in a civil rights ░░░░░░░░ and criminal Avery you ░░░░░░░░ So Loughlin reportedly feels ░░░░░░░░ she has a valid ░░░░░░░░ That you know it ░░░░░░░░ not likely she ll ░░░░░░░░ looking at any jail ░░░░░░░░ could her defense look ░░░░░░░░ Well you know what ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ s guess but I ░░░░░░░░ if I m trying ░░░░░░░░ tailor something I m ░░░░░░░░ to say something like ░░░░░░░░ look any other parent ░░░░░░░░ the circumstance would do ░░░░░░░░ same thing The problem ░░░░░░░░ that argument is that ░░░░░░░░ federal judge instructs a ░░░░░░░░ Unless somehow she engendered ░░░░░░░░ kind of sympathy she ░░░░░░░░ counting on one lone ░░░░░░░░ This is the kind ░░░░░░░░ case like O J ░░░░░░░░ Michael Jackson where you ░░░░░░░░ going to have stealth ░░░░░░░░ So it is a ░░░░░░░░ weak argument I think ░░░░░░░░ blew it not entering ░░░░░░░░ plea early on There ░░░░░░░░ been a supplemental indictment ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ the theory if that ░░░░░░░░ it and if Rick ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ which I very much ░░░░░░░░ He was the one ░░░░░░░░ charge of this scheme ░░░░░░░░ They have trouble Okay ░░░░░░░░ according to the LA ░░░░░░░░ federal prosecutors reportedly have ░░░░░░░░ targeted Loughlin s daughters ░░░░░░░░ the scandal but some ░░░░░░░░ kids involved in the ░░░░░░░░ have received target letters ░░░░░░░░ s with the disparity ░░░░░░░░ think what s going ░░░░░░░░ happen Fred is you ░░░░░░░░ it laid out before ░░░░░░░░ how to act when ░░░░░░░░ re indicted and facing ░░░░░░░░ time and how not ░░░░░░░░ act Felicity Huffman has ░░░░░░░░ everything She s contrite ░░░░░░░░ and offered an plea ░░░░░░░░ Loughlin is in LA ░░░░░░░░ Land This is federal ░░░░░░░░ Boston This is a ░░░░░░░░ tough strict sentencing judge ░░░░░░░░ s facing For her ░░░░░░░░ walk around saying she ░░░░░░░░ very confident that she ░░░░░░░░ going to be acquitted ░░░░░░░░ a federal criminal trial ░░░░░░░░ Boston is absolute marbles ░░░░░░░░ She s lost it ░░░░░░░░ the government stands up ░░░░░░░░ the opening and says ░░░░░░░░ are so honored to ░░░░░░░░ representing the United States ░░░░░░░░ America against Lori Loughlin ░░░░░░░░ might begin to set ░░░░░░░░ Well This woman has ░░░░░░░░ Because they ve handled ░░░░░░░░ differently than Richard one ░░░░░░░░ very contrite one differently ░░░░░░░░ it mean the penalties ░░░░░░░░ be different Perhaps the ░░░░░░░░ might lead to a ░░░░░░░░ penalty versus the contrite ░░░░░░░░ more lenient Does it ░░░░░░░░ like that The guidelines ░░░░░░░░ the sentencing here She ░░░░░░░░ looking at a maximum ░░░░░░░░ 40 years in prison ░░░░░░░░ convicted on both counts ░░░░░░░░ won t get 40 ░░░░░░░░ s a first time ░░░░░░░░ There is another issue ░░░░░░░░ time criminal history Fred ░░░░░░░░ could get 10 years ░░░░░░░░ prison for all this ░░░░░░░░ she goes to trial ░░░░░░░░ gets convicted she is ░░░░░░░░ to be incarcerated Fred ░░░░░░░░ d be shocked if ░░░░░░░░ Huffman gets one day ░░░░░░░░ prison If Lori Loughlin ░░░░░░░░ convicted she s going ░░░░░░░░ prison Wow Avery I ░░░░░░░░ the federal proximate results ░░░░░░░░ are holding over Loughlin ░░░░░░░░ head the idea of ░░░░░░░░ the daughters That is ░░░░░░░░ serious The idea of ░░░░░░░░ the sense that I ░░░░░░░░ feeling more confident that ░░░░░░░░ m going to beat ░░░░░░░░ thing If you think ░░░░░░░░ it given the fact ░░░░░░░░ prosecutors are probably probably ░░░░░░░░ look your daughters they ░░░░░░░░ young they knew what ░░░░░░░░ going on You know ░░░░░░░░ you said you were ░░░░░░░░ with the Los Angeles ░░░░░░░░ club which didn t ░░░░░░░░ exist kind of fabricated ░░░░░░░░ mean goodness gracious the ░░░░░░░░ family is in the ░░░░░░░░ of all this Fred ░░░░░░░░ see You re saying ░░░░░░░░ would have to prove ░░░░░░░░ the daughter they would ░░░░░░░░ to prove that the ░░░░░░░░ you know helped facilitate ░░░░░░░░ were party to crafting ░░░░░░░░ pictures I agree The ░░░░░░░░ actually paid it You ░░░░░░░░ t know what Rick ░░░░░░░░ every going to say ░░░░░░░░ trying to get out ░░░░░░░░ the mess that he ░░░░░░░░ in Is he going
