Why worry about Russia’s efforts to undermine our democratic system or possible obstruction of justice by the President when there’s a “secret society” within the FBI, a deep state attempting a coup and a Satanist plot to sell your children?
As special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation circles closer to President Trump’s inner orbit, officials in the White House and lawmakers on Capitol Hill seem set on muddying the waters in Washington.
Calling the agency’s integrity into question is a direct response to Mueller’s investigation closing in on the Oval Office, Dr. Bart Rossi, a political psychologist, told the Daily News.
Recent reports have revealed that Mueller’s investigation into connections between Trump’s campaign and Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 election has reached deep into the President’s inner circle and that he attempted to get the special prosecutor fired last year...
Another report detailed how Trump instructed his aides to purposely discredit top FBI officials who were likely to testify against him.
Agent Peter Strzok and attorney Lisa Page exchanged missives knocking candidates and made derisive remarks about Trump. Strzok, a lead investigator on the probe into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, was booted from Mueller’s team when the messages were discovered.
In one exchange, the pair appear to jokingly mention a “secret society,” which sent conspiracy-minded members of Congress into a tizzy.
“What this is all about is further evidence of corruption, more than bias,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Fox News on Tuesday.
“Corruption of the highest levels of the FBI. The secret society — we have an informant talking about a group that was holding secret meetings off-site.”
Two days later, Johnson walked back his insinuations.
“It’s a real possibility” the text was written in jest, he admitted to CNN.
Concurrently, it was revealed that months’ worth of exchanges between Page and Strzok were missing due to a cell phone glitch.
Again, the GOP cried coverup.
President Trump called it “one of the biggest stories in a long time.”
Online, Trump fanatics have embraced a cryptic conspiracy that’s infinitely darker than what the GOP is pitching. Called “The Storm,” the mega-theory combines everything from fantasies about a coming coup attempt by entrenched bureaucrats and other officials to the imminent arrests of former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for their role in a Satanist-led pedophilia ring.
Clues, dubbed “crumbs,” are posted on an internet message board by a user under the name “QAnon” who supposes that Trump is not really Mueller’s target, but high-level Democrats who are plotting the President’s downfall and running a global sex-trafficking operation.
The online speculation game has found its way into the alt-right echo chamber of radio host Alex Jones, who has said the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax.
