Those people do not, there's 900 of them, so of course there's going to be exceptions, but in the overwhelming main, they are not on a team other than caring deeply about their reputation for integrity and for getting it right, because they can't lose their jobs.
I mean, all these people in Congress sold themselves because they want to keep their jobs.
The only way you can actually lose your job as a federal judge is to engage in improper behavior, is to betray the oath you took.
And so it's a genius design, and it's what has saved us.
Nicole was saying, but it's one leg of a stool, so you have to balance on one leg.
Yeah, OK.
But it has balanced.
It was tested in Trump 1.
It's been tested again.
And it's what's going to save us.
What I do with these books is I want to show people with cool stories what it's really like in different parts of the world that I've seen and prove you don't need to make stuff up to be exciting.
And it occurred to me, I've not shown people the shadow world of counterintelligence and the FBI's role there.
And I thought I could tell a pretty cool story through that lens and set out to try and do it.
But yeah, the inspiration...
comes, I mean, I read all different kinds of things.
I'm reading a biography of Stalin, talking about darkness right now, but that didn't inspire me.
What inspired me was I want to tell a cool story and I want to show readers, this is what the people of the Department of Justice are really like, right?
They're flawed and they're like all human beings are, but they're fundamentally honest, good people working their asses off in really hard circumstances.
And so I tell stories about those kind of people in those environments.
And so that's what the book is about.
