SpyCast - Agent of Betrayal, FBI Spy Robert Hanssen - with CBS’ Major Garrett and Friends

This episode of SpyCast is a recording of a recent program held at the International Spy Museum in collaboration with our friends at CBS/Paramount. To accompany their new podcast, “Agent of Betrayal,” we hosted a panel of experts to discuss the story and historical significance of the Robert Hanssen case. They discuss how an FBI agent sworn to protect America’s most precious secrets instead became a damaging and deadly mole.

The panel features Major Garrett, host of Agent of Betrayal; Dr. David L. Charney, the psychiatrist who met with Hanssen for a year after he went to jail; Dr. John F. Fox, Jr., FBI historian; and David Major, retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and Spy Museum Advisory Board Member who knew Hanssen as a colleague.
And…
Robert Hanssen received at least $1.4 million from the Russians in exchange for American national security secrets. Pretty big pay day, but he’s beat out monetarily by Aldrich Ames, who made over $4 million spying for the Russians.

0:10 thank you for this very interesting presentation and for enlightening me to the presence of this podcast.

Why does this cut off when Andrew starts to talk about continuity of government at the end? It seems to go abruptly into the outro. Would like to hear what was said, as this was one of the most interesting things about what Hanssen gave up.
