Ron Johnson, who raised alarms this week about the FBI agents’ “secret society” text, just told me: “It’s a real possibility” the text was written in jest.— Manu Raju (@mkraju) January 25, 2018
After raising alarms on Fox Tuesday, Johnson told us Wednesday that he spoke with an informant who warned of FBI meetings occurring “off-site.” He acknowledged not knowing what those mtgs were about. Today, he said “it’s real possibility” it was a joke. https://t.co/r1UUVIFuWx— Manu Raju (@mkraju) January 25, 2018

The problem isn’t merely the normalization of Trump. It’s the normalization of reckless demagoguery, of angry paranoia, of conspiratorial thinking. And those now have a life of their own on the Hill and on the airwaves almost independent of Trump.— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) January 25, 2018
