GOP senator claims to have informant alleging secret anti-Trump meetings

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) says that a whistleblower has told Congress about secret meetings between FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials who allegedly gathered to discuss ways to undermine President Trump following his victory in the 2016 election.

Johnson's comments come after House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said that two FBI agents accused of anti-Trump bias made reference in text messages to a “secret society” within the FBI and DOJ in the aftermath of Trump’s election.

Speaking Tuesday on Fox New Channel’s “Special Report,” Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said he has an informant to back those claims up.

“The secret society -- we have an informant talking about a group holding secret meetings off-site,” Johnson said.

...they'd be out of their minds if they didn't have a meeting along these lines. This is simple patriotism. Trump, by election 2016, was already a clear threat to the Constitution of the United States...

Mueller is not charging anyone based on any kind of political bias. Two have pled GUILTY ON THEIR OWN. While two others are indicted and other indictments waiting.

And the FACT the Repukes went after the Clintons for YEARS and THAT was purely politically motivated proves what disgusting, pond-scum sucking hypocrites they truly are!

They don’t care Russia is interfering worldwide!! Because they’re all on the take.
