What if the FBI’s biggest secrets are still buried, and the new director isn’t who we thought?
In this explosive Deep Dive edition of At The Mic with Keith Malinak, former FBI agent and whistleblower Steve Friend returns to unpack the truth behind the headlines. Host Keith Malinak guides the conversation through Crossfire Hurricane, the tangled roles of Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, and the FBI's internal war over transparency and trust.
The episode takes viewers behind the curtain of the FBI’s hierarchy, revealing the bureaucratic layers that stall investigations and shield powerful players. From the unresolved Epstein files to January 6th informants, from James Comey’s legacy to domestic terrorism tactics, nothing is off-limits. Friend lays out the “credibility Ponzi scheme” at the heart of today’s public distrust and breaks down how power still flows in a system rigged to deflect accountability.
Whether you're a freedom-first conservative, a government skeptic, or just tired of the spin, this episode is required viewing for anyone who wants answers without the DC gloss.
