Informant says 'secret society' discussed in FBI text messages is real and had meetings outside the bureau

John Sexton, Hot Air:

When word broke about the “secret society” text sent between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page the day after the election, my initial thought was that it must be some kind of inside joke between two partisans. But this evening I’m being forced to reconsider. On today’s edition of Special Report, Sen. Ron Johnson told host Bret Baier that he has an informant who claims there really was a group at the DOJ holding some kind of secret, offsite meetings.

“And that secret society, we have an informant that’s talking about a group that were holding secret meetings offsite,” Johnson said adding, “There is so much smoke here…”

At this point, Baier interrupted Johnson to clarify what he’d just heard, “Let’s stop there. A secret society—secret meetings offsite of the justice department?”

“Correct,” Johnson replied.

“And you have an informant saying that?” Baier asked.

“Yes,” Johnson said.

When the subject of the "secret society" first came up Comey described them as some sort of patriots.  That certainly suggests he was aware of what they were doing and approved of what looks like a coup attempt.  Congress needs to bring him back and talk to him about what he knows of teh "secret society" and why he did not disclose it beforehand.
