🤫 #74 - Special Agent Jim DiOrio: The Mysterious Al Qaeda Raid Of September 15th; The Silk Road Case; Mental Health In The Covid Era; Recapping Afghanistan

3 hours 5 minutes

Jim DiOrio is a Former FBI Interrogation Expert, Military Veteran, Undercover Operative, and Savage.

A member of West Point’s Class of 1986 (along with his roommate and former Secretary of State/Director of The CIA, Mike Pompeo), Jim served overseas as an Army Ranger in the late 80’s and early 90’s before leaving the military and joining the FBI. He went on to spend 10 years as one of the most successful undercover agents in the Bureau’s history––and another 15 as a ferocious Special Agent In-Charge and heralded FBI interrogator around the world. Basically, he was the guy who told Captain Phillips he could have his boat back.

Currently, Jim is the CEO of J3 Global, an international crisis/security firm (or as he explains it: “I’m Ray Donovan with more experience”). In his spare time, he also owns a Jersey Mike’s because why not.
