😳 #73 - Special Agent Jim DiOrio: Ex-FBI Agent / Army Ranger Talks Edward Snowden; Revisits The San Bernardino Shooter Case He Worked On; And Tells Story After Story From His Career

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. ***TIMESTAMPS*** 0:00 - Intro; How the Federal Prosecutor process works with new administrations 15:08 - Making cases at the FBI and politics behind it; Jim sent his former boss Jim Comey a Christmas Card (it wasn’t nice); The hilarious story behind Jim’s infamous Chris Christie Joke; 36:52 - Jim and Julian wonder if Trump is actually going to run for President again; Jim appeals to his friend and TikTok Executive, David Urban, to stop banning perfectly-harmless videos from this podcast; A Nantucket-Bound Private Jet & Container Ships; Jim loves his buddy Post Malone; Jim tells a funny story about his childhood baseball coach 58:22 - Julian questions Jim’s lifelong friend former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s stance on former NSA / CIA Whistleblower Edward Snowden; Revisiting Snowden’s background; The Yahoo Report regarding the Then-Director Pompeo and the CIA’s efforts to assassinate Wikileaks Founder, Julian Assange, while he was living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London; Why Julian considers Snowden’s leaks about US Government Privacy Violations incredibly important; Jim talks about the importance of intent when evaluating people like Snowden; Revisiting the time the Bush White House tried to push through the illegal Stellar Wind Program while then Attorney General John Ashcroft was in the ICU 1:27:48 - Jim tells the story behind something special that happened as a result of his last podcast in here; Julian talks about the responsibility he feels with creating content from the conversations on this podcast 1:40:22 - Jim talks about a Charity he and many of his West Point Classmates Founded in honor of their fallen friend; Jim tells a story about 9/11 Firefighter’s son who left everything behind to carry on his father’s legacy 1:49:48 - Julian talks about the impact Jim had on many who heard his first podcast and reached out seeking  his life advice; Jim tells a story about an old Mafia informant of his at the FBI who actually became a friend; The one thing that Jim says he will never lose 2:03:33 - Julian talks about Charlie Jabaley’s incredible “I Am You” Theory; Jim discusses private investigations he did involving the Catholic Church and the impact that had on how he viewed religion; A story about a Korean War Chaplain whose body was just recently discovered
