Inside Stories: An Evening with FBI Spycatchers

The best spies never get caught. Aldrich Ames, Stanislav Gusev, James Nicholson, Robert Hanssen, Earl Pitts, and Chi Mak all did. Have you ever wondered what it is like to run an espionage investigation? Or to arrest and interrogate a spy? In this program, hear what it’s really like from the special agents who led the FBI’s historic run of espionage cases between 1994 and 2005. Alan Kohler, former FBI Counterintelligence Division Assistant Director, and Spy Museum Advisory Council member, will lead a conversation with four noteworthy FBI counterintelligence agents: Mike Anderson, retired Supervisory Special Agent; Mike Donner, retired FBI senior executive; Rudy Guerin, retired FBI deputy assistant director; and John Hosinski, retired FBI senior executive and Chief, Counterespionage Group at CIA; about their work on these infamous cases. The retired agents will share the untold stories, discuss how the FBI ran espionage cases at that time, and even reveal a few anecdotes about mistakes made along the way. This presentation was recorded live at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC on February 5, 2026.
