On this episode of the podcast, Former FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piehota reflects on his 25-year career and the transformative shifts within the Bureau following September 11, 2001. After the attacks on our nation, the agency went from traditional law enforcement to focusing on national security. Piehota examines the impact of poor leadership decisions, cultural erosion, and the influence of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies on the FBI’s effectiveness. He advocates for bold change, including the appointment of a new director, someone like Kash Patel, who will have the opportunity to restore trust and rebuild the FBI’s culture by rooting out corrupt practices. Furthermore, all throughout this conversation Piehota drew multiple parallels directly from his new book, “Wanted: The FBI I Once Knew,” which you can buy on Amazon.com today.
