“We are told a secret society existed within the FBI with the sole purpose of undermining then-candidate Donald Trump. We are also told the FBI “lost” text messages from members of this secret society. With Russiagate rapidly losing steam, do we now have FBI-gate?
CrossTalking with Daniel Faraci, Kevin Shipp, and Daniel McAdams.”
RB, I watched some news reports on the txt-messaging between the FBI agents concerned. It appears that the “secret society” they mentioned may relate to a relationship the two of them had with each other. In other words, the “secret society” consisted of just two people; the two agents concerned.
Similar to a running “in joke” in science fiction fandom called “SMOF” – Secret Masters of Fandom. SMOF was reputed to be the “controlling force” behind sf fandom; secretly manipulating and controlling events. The “in joke” is that sf fandom is so anarchic that any possibility of a real “SMOF” is as likely as Martian tripods invading Earth.
Unless there is corroborating evidence from another source, I would view the “secret society” with a huge grain of salt.
The dumbest thing about the agents silly reference to a “secret society” (and who the feck would call it that?!?!) is that it will spawn a whole new conspiracy theory. FFS!!

Clinton, Podesta And Others In Senate Crosshairs Over Dossier; Given Two Weeks To Respond

I look forward to any further information on this issue, RB
But as I pointed out earlier, Comey’s actions in October last year, when he announced the re-opening of the Bureau’s investigation into Clinton’s emails, does not point to a pro-Democrat organisation.
Quite the contrary, everything I’ve read points to the FBI being (generally) pro-Republican.
On a vaguely related side issue, the fun has gone out of watching The X Files. Toying with conspiracy memes back in the ’90s was fun. But with said conspiracy theories being taken unquestionably as gospel by so many people, has made it bleak viewing. For many viewers, The X Files validates their flights of fantasy into Conspiracy Land, rather than treating it as entertainment.
It could also be, Red Buzzard, that the US conservatives, Republicans, neo-cons, alt-right, what-have-you, are fighting back against FBI investigations, as reported recently by McClatchy;

The word ‘murky’ doesn’t begin begin to cover what is going on, RB.
Throw in hidden tax havens as revealed by the release of the Panama Papers and ‘Paradise’ Papers, and we begin to understand that Trump and his cronies are mired neck-deep in the Oligarchy that he so vehemently opposed in 2016.
Our watch dogs without teeth are hardly getting ‘stuck into’ state agencies, it seems, when they drag their feet on releasing some asked for OIA info:

Three years until some essential figures are presented, that is abysmally poor performance. But it happened under the National led government. Let us see how sincere and ‘transparent’ the Labour led government will be. I will not expect that much, to be honest.
