Lori Loughlin Reportedly Wants To Plead GUILTY Now -- But Thinks She Can BUY Her Way Out Of Prison!!!

Lori Loughlin Bribery Scandal Guilty Plea

Lori Loughlin may be feeling bad — but we’ve seen enough very special episodes of Full House to know that’s not the same thing as learning a lesson.

As you know, Lori and hubby Mossimo Giannulli were among the fifty people arrested in the sting operation that uncovered the college admissions scam. According to the lengthy indictment, dozens of unscrupulous parents funneled bribe money through a fake charity in an effort to get their teens into colleges; in Lori’s case, it was a whopping $500 GRAND slipped to certain USC officials to get daughters Olivia Jade and Bella Rose conditional acceptance through the athletic department as part of the crew team — despite the fact neither had ever or would ever row crew.

Unlike several other parents and school officials, Lori and Mossimo REFUSED to plead guilty, insisting they did nothing wrong. And the more they fought, the tougher prosecutors got.

On Wednesday, a source close to the TV star told People she was “remorseful” and “embarrassed” by the whole ordeal. However, they also admitted she still didn’t think she had done anything wrong!

Seriously! The insider said Lori “believes the allegations against her aren’t true” and “didn’t think what she was doing was any different than donating money for a library or athletic field.”

Wow. Just wow.

That makes the news from just a couple hours later so much more

According to sources speaking to Us Weekly, now Lori has changed her mind and is ready to plead guilty!!!

However, the insider explains Lori “has asked her lawyer to negotiate a plea deal that would involve no jail time, but home confinement with monitoring via ankle monitor.”

Yeah, slim chance of that. Another source informed the outlet “any deal would involve significant jail time.” Remember when that conspiracy to commit money laundering charge got tacked on when she refused the plea deal Felicity Huffman and others took? Yeah, her minimum sentencing jumped up to of FOUR YEARS AND NINE MONTHS. And that was if she plead guilty then. After all this time fighting the charges?

Also, if she isn’t showing remorse to the judge — including acknowledging what she did wrong — there’s no way she can get the kind of mercy she’s looking for. But she has another tactic:

“She’s willing to pay a substantial fine, over $2 million.”

Woooooooooow.

She really thinks she can buy her way out of going to prison.

We’re going to try to put on our best Danny Tanner dad voice and sit Lori down and explain:

You see, this is exactly the attitude that gets rich people into these kinds of messes in the first place. You can’t buy everything and everyone you want. And deep down, you know that. Library donations may not be about a student’s merit either, but they aren’t disguised from the federal government as charity for “underprivileged students.” In your case, if true, you had to falsify photos of your kids participating in a sport, so how could you not know what you were doing was wrong? In your heart.

Innerestingly, Lori and her husband are said to be not on the same page with this reverse course.

According to the insider, the fashion designer is still ready to fight it out:

“Moss doesn’t want any plea deal and is expecting to be fully exonerated”

Huh. Well, the feds say they have you on tape admitting to the crime, so… good luck with that.
