Here is more from Politico:
The most D.C. of mini-scandals is happening right now: A think tank is hosting a book event for a former Trump administration national security official who tweeted support for those questioning the 2020 election results.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has invited ELBRIDGE COLBY, author of “The Strategy of Denial,” to join a Sept. 15 panel to discuss his work and U.S. policy toward China.
The backlash has been fierce. “I continue to be disappointed in how the foreign policy community polices its own on a number of fronts, but particularly when it comes to attacks on democracy in the United States. We can do better,” tweeted LOREN DEJONGE SCHULMAN, a former NSC official in the Obama administration.
Here is a recent Think Tank Watch post on Colby leading the conservative effort to prepare for a US war with China.
Colby is co-founder and principal at The Marathon Initiative, which calls itself a think tank. He has held several positions at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), most recently as Director of the Defense Program, where he led the think tank's work on defense issues.
He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS).
