Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband, University of California Regent Richard Blum, has been named by the state auditor’s office as one of the regents involved in an admissions scandal where UC wrongly admitted dozens of students as favors to well-connected people.

California auditor: UC schools wrongly admitted 64 wealthy students as ‘favors’ over past 6 years In one case, a regent unidentified in the report sent an inappropriate letter on behalf of a student with only a 26% chance of getting in. The applicant was admitted.

Auditor’s spokeswoman Margarita Fernandez confirmed to The Associated Press that Blum was the regent.

Blum tells the San Francisco Chronicle that he’s done nothing wrong and that he’s used his clout to get friends and family into the elite public system for years.

This could be something

[Jamestown1630]

Huh.

Seems like a strange way for him to respond...

[Bullish]

Did he have a Chinese communist driver too?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Chinese students / investors.

[ConservativeInPA]

Lock him up. Now let’s find something on Difi and lock her up too. That can’t be all that difficult given she’s been in politics forever.

[bdfromlv]

How many Chinese students did the slip in for their handlers?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Not surprised a bit. Didn’t his real estate company get exclusive rights to sell a bunch of post office property on some very valuable land?

[Zathras]

I suspect he and DiFi have been doing influence peddling for so long, they no longer care who finds out.
Plus they know that the CA Rat Machine will cover for them.

"Seems like a strange way for him to respond..."

There is 'Damning with faint praise' but there is also 'praising with faint damnation.' Then there is 'excusing with faint damnation.' This takes it all the way around to 'excusing oneself with faint self damnation.'

[nickcarraway]

Like Daddy WarBucks will ever get in trouble.

[Lurkinanloomin]

No way is he prosecuted like the celebrities.

[sheehan]

they want the ChiCom spy DiFi to step down from the Judiciary Cmte before the SCOTUS nominee hearings.... she’s too old and senile like Sleepy Joe.

[KDF48]

Did the same influence buyers give to the party fundraisers for feinstein?
Fair question?

[shelterguy]

It will be interesting to watch her and the dinosaur Grassley try to stay awake during the hearings.

[VeniVidiVici]

Is he Chinese?

[bagster]

A little pressure on DiFiChiSpy just in time for Supreme Court Judicial hearings.

So $crew the capable students of non elite parents.

Wonder how many Chicom Elites got their spawn admitted due to rectums like Blum?

This seems like a contradiction...
