Show Notes
The FBI occupies a rare position in the Western world, functioning as both a federal police force and a top-tier intelligence agency. This episode explores how this hybrid structure evolved from a small group of investigators into a massive organization handling everything from bank robberies to cyber warfare. We examine the historical decisions that created this dual role and why the U.S. resisted a separate national police force.
