  • Voice…?

    With ALL respect, her voice is so very odd; interesting stuff, though, but I’m not sure I can stick with it; Candice DeLong’s voice is super odd, too…but I got used to this and hope to get used to this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

415: Tom Clark – Early Years of FBI Aviation, Pilot Tales of Endless Circles Surveillance
Q: When and why did you join the FBI, and were you a pilot before joining?
Tom Clark explains his path from Army service into the FBI, noting his aviation background and how the Bureau welcomed pilots as they built the aviation unit, with a focus on applying flying skills to investigative work.
414: Keith Mularski – DarkMarket Forum, Master SplyntrInfiltration
Q: What were the two types of undercover authorities you mentioned, and how did they influence your approach?
Group two authority allowed limited undercover activity like signs of conversation and some buys, while group one authority permitted more intrusive actions and broader control; obtaining group one was a major milestone that allowed hosting, monitoring, and broader operations, albeit with extensive legal approvals.
414: Keith Mularski – DarkMarket Forum, Master SplyntrInfiltration
Q: Could you inform us about the dark web and how these sites operate for someone unfamiliar with the topic?
The dark web comprises parts of the internet not indexed by Google, accessed through Tor or similar tools, and hosts online marketplaces where criminals trade stolen data and other illicit goods; access is usually restricted and often requires vetting or being vouched in by existing members.
413: Shayne Buchwald-Nickoles - Home Invasion and Jewelry Store Heist
Q: How did this case start and evolve from a health care fraud offshoot into a full-blown kidnapping and jewelry-store conspiracy?
It began with a confidential source reporting stolen jewelry tied to an Owings Mills jewelry store, which then connected to a larger, more violent plan. The informant's information led investigators to follow a thread through another case involving contraband cigarettes, and as they gathered more admissions from Stephen and observed the evolving actions of the crew, the case expanded into a multi-conspirator operation involving home invasion, kidnapping, and theft of firearms.
412: Ellen Glasser – Iran-Contra Operation Front Door, Women FBI Leaders
Q: What was Ellen Glasser's role during the White House document review phase?
Glasser and a colleague conducted the primary document review, were given high-level access, and worked on categorizing and securing thousands of classified documents and emails for further legal processing.
