Episode 1 - FBI History and Problems: Under Robert Mueller's Leadership

In the first episode, I provide an overview of the FBI under the leadership of Robert Mueller. Robert Mueller reigned with an iron fist. When I first began my FBI career, Louis Freeh was the FBI Director. Unlike Robert Mueller, Louis Freeh was a former FBI agent and demonstrated that he trusted his agents and lead accordingly. When the 9/11 attacks occurred, Robert Mueller had been on the job for just one week. I believe his leadership style and heavy-handedness paved the way for the problems we encounter to this day. Gellman, Barton (2011).
