When Eric O’Neill, an FBI investigative specialist goes undercover in 2001 to unearth information on Robert Hanssen, who would be revealed as the most damaging spy in FBI history having sold information to the Russians for decades, O’Neill’s undercover assignment in 2001 soon becomes dangerous with life and death stakes. O’Neill had to win Hanssen’s trust to find out the extent of the damage done and help the FBI catch him in the act so they could bring him to justice for his years of espionage and betrayal. O’Neill opens up to Kristy Kottis about his first-hand experience undercover with Hanssen while Richard Garcia (an FBI Special Agent for 25 years who went undercover with a Colombian drug cartel and a legendary section chief at FBI Headquarters) and Debra Smith (42-year FBI veteran who worked Russian organized crime, overseas espionage and was the head of the Russian Counterintelligence Squad in Washington D.C.) share their perspective on the importance of taking this spy down.
