In this episode of Hidden Killers, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke takes us inside the psychology of institutional cover-ups. From decades in counterintelligence and behavioral analysis, he’s seen how fear, ambition, and loyalty can twist good people into silent accomplices.
We break down the psychological anatomy of the DOJ’s shutdown of the Epstein investigation — how an active federal probe into sex trafficking, money trails, and co-conspirators was quietly transferred, muted, and declared finished with a single memo.
Robin explains how “strategic ignorance” becomes the easiest form of protection — and how the need for career safety can override the mission of justice itself. We talk about the banality of evil inside institutions: not cartoon villains, but intelligent professionals who rationalize betrayal as policy.
This is not a partisan story — it’s a psychological one. It’s about how systems lose their moral reflection, how denial becomes doctrine, and why credibility is always the first casualty when power feels cornered.
Join us as we dissect the psychology of silence, and what it takes to rebuild integrity inside the agencies meant to protect us.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
