TREVOR AARONSON:I’ve been reporting on the FBI for about 10 years.
I initially [wrote] this story forThe Interceptback in 2018, before Emile’s charges were dropped.
It was clear that this was something that lent itself to [being] a podcast.
Did Emile take much convincing to participate?
He’s clearly depicted as a bit of acharacterin the podcast.
Emile is definitely a character.
I think that’s what makes him interesting.
He is not necessarily an angel.
He has his own flaws.
I think Emile knew going in that I was going to tell his story warts-and-all.
Do you ever worry about the FBI keeping an eye onyou?
[Laughs] Sometimes.
I always joke that I’ve never been audited by the IRS but that is a fear.
I also want to point out I’m not an FBI-hater.
This is not an anti-FBI story.
