Former FBI Special Agent Bernazzani talks Russia

James Bernazzani served as the FBI Special Agent in charge of New Orleans from 2005 to 2008.

In this podcast interview, Mr. Bernazzani gives a basic overview of some of the country’s intelligence agencies and explains why he trusts these important agencies to be apolitical.

Bernazzani also shares insights about his former director, Robert Mueller, and discusses how Mueller brought positive changes to the FBI. He also explains the term “unmasking” and describes the techniques Russian operatives employ to take advantage of unsuspecting American targets.

He notes that, ”Putin—who is KGB—is trying to re-establish world prominence.” Finally, Bernazzani explains why we need to care about Russia’s interference in America’s democracy.
