Recently, the 10-23 crew got an opportunity to sit down with active-duty FBI Special Agent Chris Nicolaus.

Chris spent some time serving in the United States Army before transitioning from the military to federal law enforcement, and then spent 18 years working Counter-Intelligence based out of the FBI's Washington Field Office, and recently transferred here to Texas to continue working in a slightly different assignment that we won't detail here due to his active work at the time of this episode's release.

In this episode, Chris spoke with us about the counter-intel world, some notable FBI history, a little-known about but extremely prevalent crime known as Transnational Repression, and much more. Chris also speaks to how the FBI operates as both an Intelligence Agency and a Federal Law Enforcement Agency.

If you fancy yourself a fan of real-world spy stuff, and want to learn more about the FBI and some of the lesser-known but extremely prevalent criminal acts they address, this episode is for you.

We'd also like to extend a special thank-you to Ms. Katie Chaumont of the FBI - Dallas Division - Public Affairs Office for working with us and doing all of the necessary legwork and jumping through all of the necessary hoops for us to be able to host and publish an episode with an active-duty FBI Agent speaking from his official capacity. Katie's a rockstar and her help with this cannot be understated. With all that said, and without further ado, please enjoy 10-23 Podcast, Episode 10-5, with FBI Special Agent Chris Nicolaus!
