Retired agent Mike Rochford, as a manager at FBI Headquarters and in the field, oversaw such cases as Aldrich Ames and Earl Pitts and worked to identity six unknown subjects, government spies, the FBI and CIA, had been for years trying to uncover. One of those "unsubs" was eventually identified as FBI agent turned spy, Robert Hanssen. Mike reviews the investigation of Hanssen, who is considered the most damaging spy in FBI history. Mike recruited the source, a Russian agent of the KGB/SVR, who provided the information that led to Hanssen's identification. For this effort, Mike received the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement from the CIA.
