Jim DiOrio is a Former FBI Interrogation Expert, Military Veteran, Undercover Operative, and Savage. A member of West Point’s Class of 1986 (along with his roommate and former Secretary of State/Director of The CIA, Mike Pompeo), Jim served overseas as an Army Ranger in the late 80’s and early 90’s before leaving the military and joining the FBI. He went on to spend 10 years as one of the most successful undercover agents in the Bureau’s history––and another 15 as a ferocious Special Agent In-Charge and heralded FBI interrogator around the world. Basically, he was the guy who told Captain Phillips he could have his boat back.    Currently, Jim is the CEO of J3 Global, an international crisis/security firm (or as he explains it: “I’m Ray Donovan with more experience”). In his spare time, he also owns a Jersey Mike’s because why not. ***TIMESTAMPS*** 7:48 - Why Jim’s “The Guy”; Jim’s family tree that features the Army and one outlier in the Mafia; How Jim got recruited to West Point; Jim’s lifelong buddy, former Secretary of State / Director of The CIA, Mike Pompeo 24:46 - Why Jim went full cowboy mode post-FBI; Handshakes with Criminals; Jim tells a story about the first Mobster he put away; Discussing the concept that cops need criminals and criminals need cops; 40:02 - The FBI’s emphasis on accruing assets post 9/11; Former FBI Agent, John O’Neill, & “The Looming Tower”; “Follow the Money”; Reminiscing on former FBI Director, Louis Freeh; FBI / CIA Coordination Pre 9/11; Jim talks about being married to a 9/11 widow 1:01:38 - The forgotten case of the American Airlines Jet that went down in Brooklyn 2 months post 9/11; “Politeness & Familiarity Breed Access” 1:18:22 - Jim tells a funny story about a search warrant that yielded a huge case for the Bureau; Jim tells another funny story about the time he used mirroring to crack a serial bank robber; Jim talks about interrogation techniques 1:33:50 - Julian asks Jim about the potential interrogation techniques have to cause people to admit to things they didn’t do; Jim tells another funny story from an interrogation 1:43:51 - Why every part of the George Floyd murder angered Jim and how he would’ve handled it; The problems with police officer training in America 2:01:46 - The importance of not attaching yourself to results; why Jim’s ability to build relationships with everyone he dealt with––even undercover––was so important 2:11:32 - Jim reflects on his work as an Army Ranger; “Fear is a gift”; Jim tells a harrowing story about a takedown he had on September 15, 2001 related to the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks 2:19:05 - Jim tells a hilarious story involving, Starbucks, a gun, and a Fortune 100 company CEO; Jim tells a story about going undercover at a client’s children’s school 2:25:48 - Jim talks about why his former Boss, Ex-FBI Director James Comey, is a “narcissistic egotist”; Jim discusses the Hillary Clinton Email case that brought heat on the Bureau––and why Comey’s handling of the case was terrible
