On this episode of The Unfair Fight, Jon Murchison welcomes Bill Priestap, former Assistant Director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division. Bill discusses his love of sports, experience as a football coach, and time as the Director of Football Operations at the University of Michigan, and then how his experience in athletics led to a 21-year long career with the Bureau. They discuss staying power, the will to succeed, and how success is not only defined by wins, but also by failures. Jon and Bill talk about the complex nature of the criminals they crossed paths with in their previous government lives as well. Lastly, they go on to talk about current global issues such as China’s adversarial threats, the recent airborne spy balloon over U.S. airspace, and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
