in person. this is not diminished by the fact that russians released audio as well. audio they say is ryan fogal making the same weird up front expensive cash offer for spying over the phone. . is that real? the truth is, we don t really know what is going on. maybe ryan fogal is a real spy and that the wig he picked for his spy job. but consider the timing here. they arrested this guy monday night. on tuesday, the russian ambassador who the russian government hates, he was scheduled to do a twitter q & a with the public. he was scheduled to do that 2:30
this is the pursuit of perfection. this is james traf encan t. once a member of congress from ohio. he was thrown out of congress after convicted of taking bribes, racketeering, all kind of stuff. he is an amazing story for a lot of reasons. let s not beat around the bush here. obviously the thing that he is most remembered for is, oh, my god, look at his hair. it is amazing hair. and nobody else in history has ever had hair like that, except apparently this guy. ta da. an american named ryan fogal, who worked at the american embassy in moscow. he was arrested this week while apparently wearing the world s most astonishing and ridiculous wig. that is a still picture from the
