The real issue here is not whether the FBI Director can win his current media fight. The issue is whether or not he is leading the FBI with the maturity, discipline, and professionalism the position requires. The FBI Director's challenges highlight the gap between public image and real performance, and make one thing clear: The agents, analysts, and professional staff doing the daily work are the ones who deserve the credit for what the FBI gets right.
About the Host: Chris Piehota is a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent and trusted national security expert who provides rare insider insight into FBI matters, law enforcement and intelligence operations, and America’s evolving security challenges. With decades of experience in counterterrorism, law enforcement leadership, and crisis response, he offers clear, candid perspectives on government and the future of US national security. Chris, a US Air Force veteran, is the author of "Wanted: The FBI I Once Knew", a personal view of what the FBI should be for the American people. Chris currently serves as a subject matter expert/consultant regarding complex security practices, risk mitigation, and leadership concepts.
Channel Approach: This channel fights social and institutional decay. Are you tired of "overly-scripted", highly "curated", and "conflict-based" content that has become the norm? Are you exhausted with content that looks like contrived takeoffs of the failed mainstream media? I am. So, I hope you will forgive me for promoting a less generic, over-produced approach where ideas can be shared in a more informal fashion about what is going on for the ordinary people of the world. For the sake of real talk, you will see minor recording mistakes and flubs in this content. Please like, share, and subscribe to keep the conversation moving forward.
