Ben Wittes and Michael Feinberg: Breakdown at the FBI

In this episode of The Bulwark Podcast, Tim Miller interviews Michael Feinberg, a former top deputy in the FBI's Norfolk office, about his forced resignation due to his friendship with Pete Strzok. Feinberg details how he was targeted by Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, leading to threats of demotion and a polygraph test regarding his friendship with Strzok. He discusses the shift in the FBI's focus towards immigration enforcement, the evisceration of national security and white-collar crime units, and the resulting low morale among FBI agents. Later, Miller interviews Ben Wittes, Editor-in-Chief of Lawfare, who discusses the broader purge of experienced professionals from the DOJ and other government agencies, as well as the politicization of law enforcement. Wittes also touches on the situation in Ukraine, highlighting the need for continued support and skepticism towards Trump's proposed policies.
