A former White House adviser to Obama has pleaded guilty to wire fraud.
The case appears to involve fraudulently taking a large amount of money meant for a charter school that the man helped to create.
It will be very interesting to see what kind of sentence he gets, if any at all.
We now live under a justice system that treats people differently based on how they vote.
The Hill reports:
Former Obama White House adviser pleads guilty to wire fraud
A former White House adviser to former President Obama pled guilty to wire fraud on Friday in connection to an alleged scheme to steal $218,000 from a school network that he helped create.
“Seth Andrew, a former White House advisor, admitted today to devising a scheme to steal from the very same schools he helped create,” Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. “Andrew now faces time in federal prison for abusing his position and robbing those he promised to help.”
The 42-year-old founded Democracy Prep Public Schools in New York City in 2005, and left the position to work for the Department of Education (DOE) in 2013.
Following his time at the DOE, he worked in the Obama White House as a senior adviser in the Office of Educational Technology, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Following his work at the White House in 2017, he officially severed his ties with the charter school system he had helped to create.
This is a little ironic, isn’t it?

Will he actually see any jail time?
