“During Wisconsin’s final Senate debate Thursday night, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) made a comment that surprised many in attendance,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Said Johnson: “The FBI set me up with a corrupt briefing and then leaked that to smear me.”
“The remark drew laughs from the crowd as Johnson explained he’s been trying to uncover and expose alleged corruption within the FBI.”
