I think it’s entirely possible the secret society comment was meant in jest. It sounds over-the-top, and there is no need to play it up at this point since there is so much other evidence of corruption. The left wing corruption at the FBI appears to be so pervasive that they wouldn’t have needed a “secret society”.

Jokes are only funny when they exaggerate an underlying truth.
No, there was no ‘secret society’ with secret handshakes and bizarre initiation ceremonies. Yes, there was a group of high ranking government officials working together using their powers and positions to perform illegal acts in furtherance of a political objective.

It was a joke.
No it wasn’t
Yes, it was.
No it wasn’t.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

It’s possible they were using the specific term “secret society” in a joking manner to refer to what was a very real off-site, secret group.

Called this one yesterday. “Many a truth is said in jest.” Even if the term in the text was an attempt at adolescent irony, the meetings were real, the participants very senior and influential, the activities discussed took place, and the intentions were anything but a joke. Calling criminal activity by a cute name doesn’t make it non-criminal.

Rep. Adam Schiff’s Congressional Career Aided by Soros-Financed Groups

Breitbart ^ | April 10, 2017 | Aaron Klein

Posted on 1/25/2018, 11:55:54 AM by COUNTrecount

Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was previously financially aided by the George Soros-financed MoveOn.org to win his Congressional seat.

Schiff was also awarded the Toll Fellowship, which is sponsored by the Council of State Governments, a nonprofit that monitors federal government activities and is heavily financed by Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

The Open Society and Soros-funded groups have additionally supported a number of Schiff’s legislative efforts.
