Sen. Ron Johnson: FBI Informant Says 'Secret Society' Held Secret Meetings Off-Site
2018-01-24
[PJ] An FBI informant has apparently informed Congress that a secret society at the FBI was holding secret meetings off-site after the election of Donald Trump.

On Special Report with Bret Baier Tuesday evening, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) called it "corruption of the highest levels of the FBI."

"That secret society ‐ we have an informant that's talking about a group that were holding secret meetings off-site," Johnson said. "There is so much smoke here."

This comes after text messages between FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page, his paramour, revealed that a "secret society" of officials within the FBI met the day after the election of Donald J. Trump to plot against the president-elect.

"A secret society?" Baier asked. "Secret meetings off-site of the Justice Department? And you have an informant saying that?"

"Yes," Johnson answered matter-of-factly.

#9  Johnson was pressed on his informant comment and walked it back this morning. I think he might have blabbed too early on that one.

#8  And Flynn and Rogers (who is starting to look like the man who saved the Republic) turned Trump on to the text messages and email and even the offsite meetings. SPOD

Flynn had long been on the outs with the Klingon nation. Rogers, Kieth Alexander (whom we seldom hear from), and Mike Flynn are essentially cut from the same cloth.

By design

#6  Obama looked good in a suit and he sounded good reading a teleprompter. It didn't matter what he said because the media would not report it accurately and because he was running against McCain. We had two Manchurian candidates, the young black man against the decrepit old white man. Of course people voted for him. It was a no win situation.

#5  I believe it is the historical aspect combined with a bunch of lefties trying to prove they aren't racist.

#4  Sock Puppet of Doom, I live in California and I know a lot of people that voted for Obama. They might have faked votes to try to pull Hillary over the line but Obama won California fairly easily.

#3  Do our betters understand that the next round of "torches and pitchforks" would be v-e-r-y ugly and include remorseless collateral damage?

#2  I believe after observing and reading this unfolding scandal that Trump's counterintelligence people are better than the CIA's or the FBI's.

I think the FBI suddenly realized this and that is why they went after Flynn. Flynn by the way, knew all about the Zerobama machinations with the FISA, the phony baloney investigation of Hillary's emails (thank you Carlos Danger), and all about Uranium One and how it all goes in a straight line (if you follow the dots as Joe has) all the way back to Obama. Obama, the single most corrupt, evil, and thoroughly turned POTUS in history. It is a mystery to me WHY a man with no pedigree, no experience, and no history, hell no one knows where he came from, who he really is, or why his entire life story is a fabrication or shrouded in court orders and mystery. So Zero was the Manchurian Candidate as we all suspected. If they is foreign government collusion, it is in the election of the least qualified POTUS in history, who made some of the most monumentally damaging foreign policy and military decisions, fomented racial division and violence, tried to disarm the American public, and weaponized the Executive branch with SWAT teams, armored cars, snipers (explain to me why BLM had snipers???), how did he get elected and how did he beat the best politician in the party, Bill Clinton? If there is collusion, it had to be something to do with getting Obama elected. I personally do not know anyone that voted for him. Even all of my black neighbors, none of them voted for him.

Trump KNEW the dossier was hogwash and he KNEW its origins. So his team, along with the Republicans loyal to him in Congress started these investigations knowing that the longer the Dims continued to play the dossier collusion card, they were setting themselves up. And Flynn and Rogers (who is starting to look like the man who saved the Republic) turned Trump on to the text messages and email and even the offsite meetings. It doesn't take a fool to realize something was amiss in the FBI after the McCabe meltdown with key staff in which he essentially admitted they had tried to rig the election and couldn't understand why they lost.

#1  Da Skullz, sitting in a bar within earshot, talking all their subversion.
A popular place mind you. I was in that bar myself.
Who knows what the other House Members know but I tell you this, there place was a "safe space" except they were not.

OPSEC day was yesterday
And you did no such thing in your subversive activities.

This ball of yarn is going to fall from a tall building in the end and many people are in it.

I cast a net, and cooperate with me fastly.

You have no Chewie in the garbage compactor to stop the walls from closing in.

You have been read.
