Have been honking the horn about Varsity Blues for a couple of days now
It reeked of something much bigger, of everything being connected.
Because it all IS connected.
Christopher Steele had his own little admissions scandal brewing. He got one Russian's kid into Michigan. She is now Nancy Pelosi's legislative aide.
This is long, and almost a year old, but prescient. And the handy table of principal characters is a keeper, as is most of the incredible dig this writer has done.

"So in other words, Orbis has a “large network” of highly placed government informants in Russia, that don’t know that they are informants—and none of them gets paid for the classified information because that would violate European union bribery laws. So what is the incentive of all for these FSB, Kremlin, and Russian Foreign Ministry personnel to share state secrets with Steele?
This business model also raises some serious questions. Assuming that by “Western schools” Steele means Ivy League and not your average local community college and that his secret compensation formula is:
‘High value intelligence’ = ‘Getting the source’s child into a Western school’
Than how is Steele able to perform this magic with the university admissions office? Is it plausible that Orbis is bribing admission committee members in Cambridge University? And who pays for these students’ tuition, room, and board? The cost of attending a school like Cambridge university for an international student is over $60k per year. How can an FSB source who draws a $10K per year salary possibly afford it? And what about the FSB’s counter intelligence team? Wouldn’t they have a few questions for their fellow employees regarding their children’s attendance at western Ivy League schools?
And if this is the model, is this how Ivanna Voronovych, Pelosi’s legislative aide got into a top US university?"
My god, this thing is a windfall of information.
