Clinton Watts, a former FBI Special Agent who is now a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, made a startling admission about fears for his personal safety during his testimony at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday.
When talking about measures that the Russian government could take to retaliate against him for his testimony, Watts said his biggest fear was that he simply didnt trust the Trump administration to keep him safe.
My biggest fear isnt being on Putins hit list or psychological warfare targeting, Ive been doing that for two years, Watts explained. My biggest concern right now is, I dont know what the American stance is on Russia, and whos going to take care of me. I mean, after years in the army and the FBI
today Im going to walk out of here and aint nobody going to be covering my back.
To emphasize his point, Watts finished by saying, Im going to be on my own, and thats very disconcerting.
