Lori Loughlin sentenced to two entire months for college admissions scandal
[PAGESIX] An angry federal judge sentenced Lori Loughlin to two months jail Friday — scolding the former "Full House" TV star for living a "fairy tale life" yet greedily grabbing "even more," by conspiring to pay a half-million-dollar bribe to get her daughters into the University of Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, as fake rowing recruits.

"Here you are, an admired, successful professional actor with a long-lasting marriage," Boston federal Distict Judge Nathaniel Groton scolded in a virtual, Zoom sentencing that was part tongue-lashing, part wrist slap.

Loughlin enjoys "two apparently healthy, resilient children, more money than you could possibly need, a beautiful home in sunny, southern California," said Groton, who earlier Friday had sentenced the actress’s designer husband, Mossimo Giunnulli to five months for the same conspiracy.

"A fairytale life," the judge noted.

"Yet you stand before me a convicted felon. And for what? For the inexplicable desire to grab even more," he said.

"We can only hope that you will spent the rest of your charmed life, as you have said you will, making amends to the system you have harmed," he told Loughlin.

#1 Two months (two more seconds?) more than Jesse Smollett has spent behind bars.

But I ask: this is a crime? A felony? What a joke. If she had donated this money to a university endowment, would that have changed things?

#2 If you're gonna bag & jail this woman for a crime, the others involved should meet the same fate.
