66. The Early Days of FBI Counterintelligence with Raymond Batvinis


Listen Later

Today, Justin sits down with  retired FBI special agent Raymond J. Batvinis, who served in the FBI for 25 years, from 1972 until 1997. Raymond worked primarily in counterterrorism and counterintelligence, and shortly after the 9/11 attacks, he returned to teach the Basic Counterintelligence course at the FBI Academy at Quantico.

During his career, he worked on several very high profile espionage cases, including the investigations into Ronald Pelton and the Walker spying. Since retiring, Raymond has worked tirelessly as a historian, author, and researcher. He's published a number of scholarly articles on intelligence history and two books since 2007.
