She was also a Senior Fellow at the American Security Project.

Between 2008 and 2009, Farkas served as Executive Director of the Commission On the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism. This led to the publishing of its report, "World at Risk".

Before this, between April 2001 and April 2008, Farkas was a professional staff member for the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Prior to this also, she was a professor of international relations at the U.S. Marine Corps Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University, for four years. She also served in Bosnia as a Human Rights Officer For the Organization For Security and Cooperation In Europe in 1996.

Farkas is listed as an expert for the Atlantic Council, specifically as Nonresident Senior Fellow, Future Europe Initiative, Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center, and Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security.

For some reason, Farkas went onto Morning Joe - without our favourite True Conservative Joe Scarborough there at the time - and spoke with Mika Brzezinski about the Trump wiretapping situation in March 2017.

Where she confirmed information dissemination.

Farkas has a Twitter account.

Come on, Evelyn, you follow Michael Wolff? Really?

Obviously Farkas has been on television before as well. Here she is talking North Korea back in May 2009.

Farkas has also written a book - "Fractured States and U.S. Foreign Policy: Iraq, Ethiopia, and Bosnia In the 1990s".

She has been a contributor to The Daily Beast.

Farkas attended a party back in June 2006. This is a picture of her with Richard Parker, but you can see that others such as George Clooney, Samantha Power, Clarence Thomas and Dana Milbank also attended.

On May 6, 2016, Farkas gave a lecture on "The Perils of Putin's Russia: Why America Needs to Counter Russia and How" at the Ellison Center For Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies at the University of Washington.

Back in 1989, Farkas graduated from Franklin and Marshall College.

In 2013, she returned to become an alumni citation recipient.

The Foundation For Defense of Democracies hosted the Washington Forum in 2016, where Farkas - alongside Mark Dubowitz, Elliot Abrams and Suzanne Maloney - spoke about "Anti-Democratic Regimes: Confrontation or Coexistence?".

Hey, look, it's John P. Carlin at the exact same event.

Farkas was acknowledged in the report "Afghanistan and Pakistan On the Brink", which was written by Frederick Barton, Karin von Hippel, Mark Irvine, Thomas Patterson and Mehlaqa Samdani.

Back on October 23, 2000, while working at the Marine Corps University, Farkas wrote an opinion piece n the Los Angeles Times about Bush's foreign policy.

articles.latimes.com/2000/oct/23/lo…

Farkas was considered one of Washington's top China watchers back in 2004, according to "Who's Who In China's Economic Policy".

On February 6, 2008, Farkas attended a meeting with the Committee On Armed Services in Washington for a vote on pending military nominations.

She met them again on April 3, 2008.

Interestingly, she spoke with The Daily Caller and said her interview on Morning Joe was actually misconstrued - she was not in possession of nor did she share documents with Congress about Trump or his advisers.

dailycaller.com/2017/03/30/exc…

When Farkas gave the interview on Morning Joe, she had already been resigned from the Pentagon since April 2015.

politico.com/story/2015/11/…

She is actually currently President of her own company - Farkas Global Strategies LLC.

She is also with NBC as a National Security Analyst.

linkedin.com/in/evelyn-n-fa…

Wow, her first job (apparently) was with the Council On Foreign Relations as a standard assistant / associate.

This is all of her jobs.

You can see that she worked for John Kerry's Presidential campaign in 2004 as Deputy Director of Defense Task Force.

linkedin.com/in/evelyn-n-fa…

She speaks French, German, Hungarian and Serbo-Croatian.

She also has associations with Asia Society, the Aspen Institute, the Council On Foreign Relations (as discussed before), the Rosenthal Foundation and the Atlantic Council (as discussed before).

This is why she has those associations, successfully acquired from her resume.

wikileaks.org/podesta-emails…

She literally applied for a job by sending her resume to John Podesta after meeting with, presumably, Tony Podesta.

The resume was sent on February 21, 2016.

wikileaks.org/podesta-emails…

She tried recruiting for a Communications Director while she worked on the Commission On the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction on a website for Washington Network Group, whose tagline is "Diversity Is Our Strength".

Which is odd.

washingtonnetworkgroup.com/index.php?tg=a…

Looks as if Farkas also met with John Podesta at that brunch.

wikileaks.org/podesta-emails…

Farkas co-hosted "The Implications of Extreme Human Life Extension" on October 6, 2016 in Washington, DC with the Atlantic Council.

atlanticcouncil.org/events/upcomin…

Farkas also attended the Asia Society's 4th Annual Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur between November 20 - 22, 2009.

americansecurityproject.org/the-asia-socie…

Oh, so on December 12, 2016, Farkas wrote an opinion piece for Politico - "Here's What America Needs to Know About Trump and Russia".

She pushes 16 intelligence agencies, Russia-WikiLeaks and Russia-Trump business (per Trump Jr., apparently).

politico.com/magazine/story…

This is the Politico article about her actual resignation from the Pentagon. She resigned during the troubles with Ukraine.

politico.com/story/2015/09/…

Farkas was pushing Russian election meddling in July 27 2016 after the DNC emails were released.

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/w…

She also pushed it during an interview with CNN on December 15, 2016.

transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/16…

Farkas welcomed sanctions on Russia should the Russia-WikiLeaks connection be confirmed.

washingtonpost.com/world/national…

Farkas was also one of the signatories on an open letter with other national security professionals requesting for Trump to disclose any and all foreign business dealings.

thehill.com/policy/defense…

Farkas led the United States delegation from the United States Department of State, Defense and Commerce for the Military Technical Cooperation Working Group, which was a part of the US-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission.

2009-2017.state.gov/p/eur/ci/rs/us…

Farkas also wrote an opinion piece for Newsweek on January 12, 2017, asking for Obama to release all information the Federal Bureau of Investigation had on the dossier to the public.

I'm going to leave it there. I'll add it to the spotlight pastebin.
