Is there a scandal brewing behind Lindsay Lohan’s early rehab release? Some officials are hinting at it, while not outright saying so. Who gets released early from rehab, once they have been put in for just cause? If you are Lindsay, you might get lucky enough.

Why would a doctor – OK, not a doctor but a high ranking employee –  go on record and make the statements about Lindsay if there weren’t some truth to it?

A high-ranking official at the Morningside Recovery facility, the rehab clinic where Lindsay Lohan was originally scheduled to be treated, tells RadarOnline.com he is “surprised” at the starlet’s imminent early release.

“It is hard to find a doctor to recommend somebody get out of treatment early, nearly impossible actually,” said the official.

“I have worked in the field for nearly 20 years and this is the first time I have ever heard of it happening.

“Kudos to the Lohan camp for making it happen.”

Lohan was originally assigned to check into Morningside, but Judge Revel changed her mind. The official says Team Lohan never wanted Lindsay at the facility and tried to sway the judge.

“This is why the family did not want her to come to Morningside, so she could get out of rehab early and start work asap,” the rep told RadarOnline.com.

I have a feeling those are going to be some fighting words! Her family was trying to get her out early from the beginning…wouldn’t that be a jail break, using lawyers and such then?
