Agent of Betrayal: The Double Life of Robert Hanssen
Amid the nuclear threat of the Cold War, America's prized secrets were falling into the hands of its sworn enemy. The FBI's hunt for the leak led to an astonishing discovery—the mole was one of its own, special agent Robert Hanssen. For two decades, Hanssen masqueraded as a devoted patriot while ruthlessly selling out his country, trading classified intelligence to the Soviet Union and later Russia, in exchange for cash and diamonds. He was a whirlwind of contradictions—a self-proclaimed patriot and a traitor; a family man who sexually betrayed his wife; an ardent man of God and a sinner. Through interviews with Hanssen’s family, friends, and colleagues, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett (Host of “The Takeout”) delves into the double life of Robert Hanssen and unravels the chilling truth about the most damaging spy in FBI history in “Agent of Betrayal: The Double Life of Robert Hanssen”.

I am a Christian. I did not find this anti-Christian at all . . .
Riveting and tragic

Of the best podcasts, I have listened to, and I have listened to many. Totally binge worthy. When I finished the last episode, I had tears in my eyes. Such a tragic tale. Humans are very complex.
Captivating

The tone struck the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, making complex FBI investigation details accessible and fascinating. The narration was well-executed, keeping me engaged from start to finish. Major Garrett, I hope you have more podcasts on the works. 👌
Boring

Turned off by the anti-Christian anti-Conservative rhetoric. It’d be nice to listen to a podcast without this.
