Note to gullible Nunes: Secret societies don’t call themselves ‘secret’

I am shocked to learn that there are FBI agents who supported Hillary Clinton for President and may not like President Trump.

Here’s some hot news: A high-ranking California congressman said in a closed meeting in June 2016, “I think Putin pays Trump, honest to God,” at which point a high-ranking Wisconsin congressman swore everyone present to secrecy.

That same Wisconsinite earlier that month said that Trump’s comments were the “textbook definition of racist.” Both of these anti-Trumpers hold positions of power over the House committees investigating our President. This is the real deep state. Both of these ferrets should be ferreted out and forced to resign.

A clue for the gullible Sen. Ron Johnson and Rep. Devin Nunes: secret societies are never called “The Secret Society.”
