Jackal Jeffrey Clark seems like a nefarious character from a Tom Clancy novel. He is as despicable as the worm in A Man for All Seasons who testified falsely to satisfy Henry VIII’s wish to kill Sir Thomas More.

And he was viewed with contempt by the people who testified yesterday. One flat out said he was incompetent. Let's hope as some here have suggested that he is also full of hubris and didn't get rid of his devices and destroy the evidence. Nice also to see the committee name names of those begging for pardons. I do love the reference to A Man for All Seasons too. Was the worm Richard Rich...whose name I hope I am remembering correctly.
Michelle Yes, wormy Richard. What a scene when Thomas More spoke to Richard about his betrayal in service to Hank VIII—-you do all this for the this title (attorney general?) of Wales—Wales?
Loved the movie, which I first saw in about 1966, or earlier. Time flies when you’re having fun.
I remember the movie too. Since I read a lot of history of that era....every time I come upon the name Richard Rich, I am reminded of how oily he was. I read a bio of More and discovered that he had quite an earthy vocabulary especially when referring to Luther.
