After ignoring a judge's order on forgiving loans for students of he failed Corinthian Colleges, the judge is strongly implying that he will send Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to jail for contempt: Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has been threatened with the possibility of jail after a judge deemed she was violating a court order for continuing to collect student debts on a now-defunct school.Please send her to jail.
That ruling, handed down in June of 2018, was made by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim and prevented DeVos and her Department of Education for going after former students at the bankrupt Corinthian Colleges Inc.
However, Kim said she was "astounded" to discover that DeVos was violating the court order at a hearing in San Francisco on Monday after a filing by the Education Department earlier disclosed that more than 16,000 former students at Corinthian College "were incorrectly informed at one time or another ... that they had payments due on their federal student loans."
At least 1,800 people reportedly lost wages or tax refunds according to the filing.
"At best it is gross negligence, at worst it's an intentional flouting of my order," Kim said, reported Bloomberg.
"I'm not sure if this is contempt or sanctions," she added. "I'm not sending anyone to jail yet but it's good to know I have that ability."
Pretty please?

What are the odds that Trump would pardon her if she was sent to jail?
Pretty good, but she would still spend anywhere from a few hours to a few days in the stir.
