More On Michele Flournoy From Kelly B. Vlahos

by | Jul 8, 2020

Highly educated, elitist upbringing, high achiever, successful – ‘She’s a technocrat—smart and efficient and highly bred for Washington’s finely tuned managerial class.”

“But elite is as elite does. She went from Beverly Hills High School to Harvard to Oxford, and then back to Harvard, before landing a political appointment in the Clinton Administration. In between government perches, she did consulting and started CNAS in hopes of creating a shadow national security council for Hillary Clinton. When Clinton didn’t get the nomination, Flournoy and her colleagues supported Obama and helped populate his administration, supporting the military surge in Afghanistan and prolonging the war.
