Agent of Betrayal: The Double Life of Robert Hanssen

Robert Hanssen was a conundrum - an FBI agent and self-proclaimed patriot who became the most damaging spy in the bureau's history. Amid the nuclear threat of the Cold War, America's prized secrets were falling into the hands of its sworn enemy-the Kremlin. The FBI's hunt for the leak led to an astonishing discovery-the mole was one of its own.
In "Agent of Betrayal: The Double Life of Robert Hanssen", a new 8-episode limited podcast series, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett delves into the life of Robert Hanssen and unravels the chilling - and deadly - truth about his many contradictions.

Join SPY's Dr. Andrew Hammond for a live panel with Major Garrett, Dr. David L. Charney, the psychiatrist who met with Hanssen for a year after he went to jail; Dr. John F. Fox, Jr., FBI historian; and retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and Spy Museum Advisory Board Member David Major, who knew Hanssen as a colleague.

A long form discussion of 3+ hours with these folks would be awesome, thank you for posting.

I really enjoyed this! I am goong to go start listening to the podcast now Thank you 😁😁😁

[@IntlSpyMuseum]

That's great! Listen here: link.chtbl.com/AOBISMP

[@Caleb_Mandrake872]

1:00:41 - That's the problem with FBI. FBI dismissed Hanssen as a joke, therefore they didn't see him. They're still not reflecting!

The US government should consider its compenation to its employees and compare it with the loss even if one of its employees betrays its secrets to a foreign government

Very good. I will find and listen to the podcast. From the point of view of organizational psychology, did the FBI ever fully analyze itself and find those aspects of it own structure that enabled Hansen to succeed for so long. In particular, did the structure set up by Hoover help to create an organization which belittled agents like Hansen who worked in areas like computer technology when the agency wanted to present a macho image and avoid a geek image. Other major failures of the FBI, like poor institutional knowledge of statistics which distorted fingerprint and ballistic analysis are isolated from the Hansen story. Maybe there is a deeper connection.

Just a note to say I loved this podcast, i listened to it alone and then with my husband on a road trip. I then dove into a rabbit hole and eventually ended up here! 😂

[@IntlSpyMuseum]

Love it!!

[@robertscott8226]

Will you guys do a special on John Walker like this? He was more damaging than Hansen but not by far.

[@5graney5]

Ha wow, throwing some shade at CBS and Dan Rather at 25:00

[@conor2439]

They produced the podcast! Awkward moment...

[@michaelh2970]

Excellent so far 37 minutes in. The psychology part seems to be spot on , had to stop and think a second. Enjoying these guys for sure though!

[@Caleb_Mandrake872]

36:10 is what FBI did to Robert Hanssen which caused him to prove that's he won't be belittled at 38:02.

[@michaelh2970]

What course? At 1:14:22 ? Anybody catch that?

[@5graney5]

Dave Major talks about the courses he makes and runs at 20:30

[@Caleb_Mandrake872]

25:06 - CBS News & Dan Rather get roasted for their dishonesty. CBS News sponsored this panel. 😂

[@timjohnston8608]

Sig hansson commercial boat fisher on the Deadliest catch. That's this guy's life spy. There is a lot of this kind of problem in this area in the industrial city similar to Roberts .

I as many likes spies histories . And everybody for a reason as curiosity to write a screenplay. The format of KZbin or many channels are more like a tv show. Who is not in person never can have a question if silly or relevant answered. Mercenaries are formers Govs ( plural) employees and they are civilians. Why we never heard a mercenary who commit crimes against common citizens, they get life in prison ?Only the employees. Why? How many groups or the powerful people have their own agendas? I bet with all of you , there are many Bob Hansen today. Employee or not. Would that not means intel agents lost control by now common citizens well trained with the money of the people ? It seams a very dumb bell question, but remember Bob Hansen that played all.

[@comeon718]

There Betta documents on this dude this one crap

[@joeysausage3437]

Do they ever have people with real jobs as a guest?
