Started article with some content from article, Fake news website.

"...and his testimonies to the US Congress on the subject of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential elections..."
Aren't we beyond "alleged Russian interference" by now? President Trump seems to be the only one in North America who refuses to admit it. Our security agencies all agree that Russia has interfered and the CIA has launched a program to try to block that country from a repeat performance. Other countries have experienced interference, too, so we are not an isolated case: this includes France, England, and of course, the poor Ukraine.

Clint Watts is a senior fellow at the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University and a Foreign Policy Research Institute fellow. He previously was an infantry officer in the United States Army, and was the Executive Officer of the Combating Terrorism Center at United States Military Academy at West Point (CTC). He became a Special Agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation where he served on the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). He has consulted for the FBI Counterterrorism Division (CTD) and FBI National Security Branch (NSB). DESPITE THIS HISTORY, Watts has given expert testimony to the U.S. Congress multiple times, including: to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on April 5, 2016, about the ISIS's November 2015 Paris attacks and the 2016 Brussels bombings. (emphasis added)
Why did you write, "Despite this history"?
Did Watts' "history" somehow make him less-than-qualified to give expert testimony on those issues?
I removed this as an unsupported implication. — Gowser (talk) 12:53, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
