Retired Secret Service Agent & FBI Exec. on Comey's ‘8647’ post: "highly irresponsible, what was he thinking?"

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head and her guests who both honorably retired from the US Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) discuss former FBI Director James Comey’s recent and controversial ‘8647’ Instagram post, which has sparked concern and debate across the law enforcement community and Trump Administration.The first interview on this episode is a discussion with retired Secret Service Special Agent and Safe Haven Security Group consultant Bill Gage. The 12 year Special Agent breaks down how the United States government investigates threats against the President — using Comey’s ‘8647’ post as a case study. Gage walks through the role of the Protective Intelligence Division (PID), the importance of intelligence coordination, and how investigations are focused on facts, not intimidation. Furthermore, Gage supports US Secret Service Director Sean Curran’s effort to modernize the Secret Service training center which includes building a full-scale White House replica for $8M.The second interview on this episode is a discussion with retired FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piehota. The two discuss former FBI Director James Comey’s “highly irresponsible” social media post that has since been deleted from his personal account. Piehota criticized Comey saying that his original claim of ignorance about the term “86” is ‘hard to believe’ considering his past professional ‘experiences and education.’ Furthermore, Piehota opines on the FBI’s potentially reduced operational budget by over $500M, as well as current FBI Director Kash Patel’s plans to relocate 1,500 FBI personnel out of the J. Edgar Hoover building in Washington, D.C.You can buy Chris Piehota’s book, “WANTED: The FBI I Once Knew” on Amazon today, and follow him or Amanda on X by searching for their social handles: @AmandaHead or @ChrisPiehota.
