I’m a former CIA officer; currently a criminal defense and civil rights investigator, author, film-maker, fact-enthusiast, husband and father. I bring an intelligence officer and investigator’s mentality to the issues that are in front of us — and as I launch this substack in the months before the 2024 Election, my primary focus is on the threats to democratic institutions, particularly in swing states, where efforts have been underway for the last four years to manipulate the election administration and certificaton process. I will be looking deeply into the looming threat which, in a close election, could lead to chaos in the aftermath of November 5th. That won’t be the only thing I write about — but it is at the top of the triage and is an area where I believe that, using “deeper look” investigative and intelligence oriented discipline, I can be a source for information vital to the public interest that is not easily available elsewhere.
