So he had to have known the kiddo was gonna go there. You have to know there would be at least at minimum the appearance of it all. So why do it then? Why not wait and do so after graduation?

Why did Ted Lieu’s campaign donate $50,000 to Stanford before his son applied?
As explained by the FEC, “Campaign committees can give gifts to charity. The amount donated to a charitable organization cannot be used for purposes that personally benefit the candidate.”
Now that we know Ted Lieu’s son was admitted to Stanford after these donations, the speculation bubbled up about some sort of influence, with references to “Varsity Blues,” the scandal in which Stanford officials apparently took bribes (all much larger than $50,000 to be sure) in exchange for admitting the children of the well connected.
When one Twitter account tweeted about this today, alleging impropriety, the account was suspended shortly after.
