Hemmer: To be clear, then, are you backing off of what was spoken last night?

Johnson: No, I’m saying exactly the same thing. I have heard, from somebody who has talked to our committee, that there is a group of individuals in the FBI that was -- they were holding secret off-site meetings. Again, it’s Strzok and Page calling it a certain term; I’m just saying off-site meetings.

I believe he is saying that in the texts Strzok and Page are the ones calling it a “secret society.” Maybe that was a “joke” that was only too real or maybe it’s a real secret society.

He seems to be having a bit of a problem there in being clear, he needs to learn to spit it out right or to just shut up.

It’s NOT Johnson’s Society.

It belongs to the FBI, America’s premier LEO.

The MIKE one will be tough but I’m working on the others.

It amazed me that many didn’t know right off who “BILL” was, though.

The MSM that is so willing to dismiss talk of a secret society as a joke is the same MSM that went ballistic when Donald Trump joked that perhaps Russia could find Hillary’s missing emails.
