Clinton Watts Jack Webb??

Just saw him on Rachel. He was info dense and INTENSE with a straight face as he delivered concise and devastating assessments using FACTS. I had been impressed with him in other testimony and interviews, but previously neglected to learn more about him.

He looked so familiar to me. Finally recognized him from "Just the Facts Ma'am" Jack Webb in that really old FBI TV show.

So I looked him up. Yes, an FBI guy, now associated with the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Hope he continues to be a guest on the best shows doggedly digging into the Russia topic.

It was Efram (sp?) Zimbalist for the FBI show - or perhaps not at this late hour and my late age. Black and White TV way back when.
