Can the FBI Be Saved? | Asha Rangappa, Yale University

Rory is joined by ex-FBI special agent and Yale lecturer Asha Rangappa to talk about how the FBI has lost its way. Asha discusses her own experience as an agent, and how the values of Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity are instilled in young agents. The conversation focuses on the guardrails that were put in place to preserve the independence of the FBI and DOJ, and how those guardrails have eroded in the last ten years. Topics covered include the Russia investigation, the balance between first amendment rights and national security, the legacy of Robert Mueller, the nature of Trump's FBI, and whether and how public confidence in the FBI can be restored.
