    Invaded from the Underworld Up with Andrew McCabe | Sitdown 10
    Sep 2 2021
    In the summer of 2017, the FBI's Deputy Director stood firm at the helm of that agency, guiding it through an all-out assault from the realm of mobsters and spies - foreign and domestic… and paid the price. LB sits down with Andrew McCabe to learn about how his early experience at the Bureau - as a street agent investigating Russian Organized Crime in Lucky Luciano's old territory, prepared him for an investigation into a Presidential candidate - who once housed those Kremlin-connected gangsters in his concrete cartel tower.

Oh man there's so much I didn't know

I recommend every episode. So full of info we should all know. Amazed by the in depth history lesson. I have so much more respect for our intelligence services and civil servants.

Reading with a third eye

This podcast is Awesome! I recommend it to anyone who is interested understanding the context rather than just news headlines. I would give it 5 stars but LB sometimes interrupts her guests when they’re making a interesting point.

Everyone should listen to all of this

I love the approach, the story, the extraordinary effort to make things clear and how she breaks up episodes with interviews and her amazing narrative

Disappointing

This podcast is a jumble of pseudo facts and personal conjecture that was strung together to fit this individuals personal conspiracy theories. Very disappointing
