When the Unthinkable Becomes Reality
What happens when the FBI's most seasoned counterintelligence experts gather around a whiteboard and write the initials "DJT" at the top? This wasn't a theoretical exercise or political theater. In early 2017, FBI leadership faced a question that had never before been asked in American history: should they open a counterintelligence investigation into the President of the United States himself? Below those initials were names-Manafort, Papadopoulos, Flynn, Page-all Trump associates with troubling Russian connections. This moment crystallizes the central tension of our era: when the person sworn to protect national security might himself be the threat, what do you do? The answer isn't found in partisan talking points but in understanding how foreign adversaries manipulate democracies and how one FBI agent's journey from revolutionary Tehran to the Trump investigation reveals the fragility of American institutions. Picture an eight-year-old boy chasing floating scraps of paper as his father burns sensitive documents in a 55-gallon drum. Beyond their walled compound in Tehran, a mysterious figure watches. It's December 1978, and Iran is collapsing into revolution. This early exposure to geopolitical upheaval-fleeing Iran just before the shah's departure, witnessing anti-American fervor firsthand-planted seeds that would shape a counterintelligence career spanning two decades. Following his father into military service through ROTC and the 101st Airborne Division, the young officer absorbed lessons about constitutional principles and civilian control of the military that would later define his approach to investigating political figures. Raised Republican, he learned to vote based on national security judgment rather than party loyalty-a nuance lost in today's tribal politics. The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing became his catalyst for joining the FBI, where he discovered his calling in counterintelligence work. Tracking Russian and Chinese threats wasn't just a job; it was defending the democratic ideals he'd seen threatened abroad.
