Inside the secret, sinister and very illegal cabal trying to destroy Trump

By Dana Milbank Opinion writer January 24 at 6:31 PM

It began, as these things generally do, with Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-Benghazi).

The voluble congressman, who speaks as if he is arguing the trial of the century even if he is ordering breakfast, went on Fox News on Tuesday to divulge a secret.

“There’s a text exchange between these two FBI agents” — Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who had originally been on Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia probe — “saying that perhaps this is the first meeting of the ‘secret society,’ ” Gowdy announced. “I’m going to want to know what secret society are you talking about.”

A secret society! The Illuminati? The Carbonari? Or perhaps the dreaded Rigatoni? Or, um, maybe, given that Strzok and Page were lovers, their text was actually a joke or a flirtation.

Gowdy’s sidekick, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Tex.), allowed that “there may have been a secret society,” but “I’m not saying that actually happened.”
