Did you know this? (interruption) You didn\u2019t know that. &#8220;The Obama family,&#8221; which was famous for having no money, like the Clintons were famous for having no money. &#8220;The Obama family\u2019s personal tennis coach was among the dozens of people charged [yesterday] in a sweeping college admissions bribery scheme. Gordon Ernst &#8212; who once taught former first lady Michelle Obama and her daughters, Malia and Sasha &#8212; was accused of conspiracy to commit racketeering when he was the tennis coach at Georgetown University.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-302292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031319-Michelle-Obama-Tennis-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031319-Michelle-Obama-Tennis-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031319-Michelle-Obama-Tennis-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Between 2012 and 2018, Ernst, 52, allegedly pocketed more that $2.7 million in bribes in exchange for putting at least 12 students on the Georgetown tennis teams, including some kids who did not play the sport competitively.&#8221; Well, hell\u2019s bells, that happened all throughout this. I mentioned yesterday that I think one of Lori Loughlin\u2019s kids (might not be) specifically was on the crew team at USC and had never done crew, didn\u2019t even know what crew was.<\/p>\n<p>But as part of the admission, she was a crew enthusiast. We found out later some people speculated, &#8220;These poor kids; they had no idea. It\u2019s such a&#8230;&#8221; BS they didn\u2019t know! The hell they didn\u2019t know! They\u2019re being asked to pose for pictures as athletes in sports they don\u2019t participate in. In some cases, their faces were Photoshopped on the bodies &#8212; the sculpted bodies of Adonis-type athletes &#8212; to make it look like they were participants in whatever sports it was said that they were proficient at.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, one of these kids was pretending to be a pole vaulter in a Photoshopped example of that. So don\u2019t tell me the kids didn\u2019t know. No. The bribes were allegedly sent to Gordon Ernst. This is the Obama family personal tennis coach. The bribes were allegedly sent to Gordon Ernst through charitable accounts set up by crooked college counselor William Rick Singer, who apparently is from Sacramento, my adopted hometown.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I don\u2019t think I know the guy, but he is the admitted mastermind of the $25 million scheme. In a statement, Georgetown said it was deeply disappointed and was cooperating with the federal investigation. After being fired from Georgetown in 2018, the Obama personal family tennis coach was hired by the University of Rhode Island. That school placed him on administrative leave yesterday. And it was while he was at Georgetown that he coached the first family, according to the Providence Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Now, now, now, it says here there\u2019s no suggestion, none whatsoever, wipe it out of your mind, that Malia Obama, who is a sophomore at Harvard, was implicated in the scam in any way. Perish the thought. Don\u2019t even go there, you dirty, stinking minded people. The Obamas are not that kind of elite. A federal judge in Maryland has agreed to free Gordon Ernst on $200,000 bond. I\u2019ve got the list of people.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-302280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HuffmanMacy-e1552499984643.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"283\" \/>You know why William Macy was not charged? By the way, he\u2019s up to this to his eyeballs, but you know why he wasn\u2019t charged? It\u2019s because all they\u2019ve got on Macy is a couple of lines with him on the phone with Singer saying (imitating Macy), &#8220;Okay. So we\u2019re talking Georgetown and we\u2019re talking this and we\u2019re talking that. You got it. You do this, you \u2013&#8221; It was his wife that did all the dirty dancing on the emails and promising this and making the &#8212; so Macy is gonna skate.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t have really enough evidence because Macy didn\u2019t do anything but have a couple of phone calls here and there. But I\u2019ve got the list of people here. Let\u2019s see. There\u2019s three groups. College athletics, college admissions and school administration, and parents. And I\u2019ve got the parents. There\u2019s one guy here, William McGlashan.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I wouldn\u2019t know who this guy is if I didn\u2019t read tech blogs. William McGlashan is an executive at TPG Growth. It\u2019s a private equity firm, Silicon Valley. You know what his reputation is? He\u2019s chief ethicist. I\u2019m not kidding. He has a reputation as chief ethicist for startup and seed money, venture capital. And he\u2019s one of the parents that participated. Yeah. It\u2019s terribly disappointing, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>But the list of people, there\u2019s 50 people here. I\u2019m not gonna go through all the names. You wouldn\u2019t know any of them other than the actresses that have been named so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Obama family tennis coach was among those charged in the college admissions scheme.
