Draft:Clint Ehrlich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Ehrlich gesagt, various things strike me as odd: This draft cites way too many sources in its lead section, and these sources aren't particulary indicative of encyclopedic notability. While they seem to mention the subject, they don't seem to discuss the subject; one source even seems to be composed by the subject, and I also wonder whether the subject's first name is Clint or Clinton? Note that references 6,7,9,10,22,24,26,27, and 31 don't refer to reliable sources. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 09:09, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Clint Ehrlich (born September 20, 1989) is an American lawyer, computer scientist, and foreign-policy analyst, known for advocating realism towards Russia.[1][2][3][4]

Ehrlich has been called Tucker Carlson's "Russia expert," due to his frequent appearances on the host's show on Fox News.[2][5][6][7][8][9][10][4][11] He was a Visiting Researcher inside Russia's Foreign Ministry at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations.[4][3]

He and his father, Jeffrey Ehrlich, are also known for exonerating Sgt. Raymond Lee Jennings, an Iraq War veteran who served 11 years of a life sentence for murdering teenager Michelle O'Keefe.[12][13][14][15][16]

Education and legal career[edit]

Ehrlich has called himself an autodidact.[16] He was ranked among the nation's top high-school debaters in 2007.[17] After dropping out of high school, he researched missile defense at the Claremont Institute.[18]

Ehrlich worked as a debate coach for Damien High School, where he won the U.S. national championship in policy debate.[17] He later operated a nutritional supplements company.[18]

Ehrlich studied law by working as an apprentice for his father.[19] While he was still a law student, he spearheaded the exoneration of Sgt. Raymond Lee Jennings in the murder of Michelle O'Keefe.[12][18][13] He went on to develop a law practice focusing on high-stakes civil litigation.[20]

Foreign-policy analyst[edit]

According to Foreign Policy, Ehrlich was embedded at the highest levels of Russia's national-security brain trust.[4][3] He was reportedly the only Western academic inside the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, which is operated by Russia's foreign ministry.[4][3][2][21]

While in Russia, Ehrlich founded a fact-checking website that defended Donald Trump.[21] Ehrlich has been accused of being "pro-Putin."[1][18][5] He has been critical of NATO and supports a negotiated settlement of the Russo-Ukrainian war.[1] He has argued that U.S. military aid to Ukraine endangers the lives of the American people and risks a third world war.[22][23][24][25] He has also claimed that sanctions against Russia are ineffective and may backfire by turning the Russian people against the West.[26]

Computer scientist[edit]

Ehrlich received a $225,000 grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop computer protocols with asymmetric resistance to Sybil attacks.[27][28][29] His work focused on adapting techniques from biological signaling theory to computer science and the problem of Byzantine consensus.[30][31]

Ehrlich holds a U.S. patent for cryptographic protocols involving the integration of fiat money and cryptocurrency.[32] According to the NSF, the technology could enhance the security of financial transactions.[27] Ehrlich has said the technology is the digital equivalent of taping gold coins to paper money.[29]
