It’s hard to say whether the FBI or its congressional overseers look worse right now. What’s plain is that the public needs to know more.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) on Thursday admitted that references to a Trump-hating “secret society” in texts between two FBI employees could’ve been a joke. That’s after he’d cited the term as “evidence of corruption . . . at the highest levels.”

GOP rhetoric had gone to DEFCON 1 over a memo from House Intel Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that supposedly documents surveillance abuses — i.e., government spying on Team Trump.

“It is shocking,” said Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC). “I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening.” Sorry, folks: The memo isn’t public.

In response, the committee’s top Democrat, Adam Schiff (Calif.), now has his own memo to refute the GOP’s. It, too, is secret.

And Schiff actually went to DEFCON 1 first, claiming months ago he’d seen “more than circumstantial evidence” of Russia-Trump collusion. He’s never given details.

Meanwhile, the bureau lost months of texts between two employees central to some alleged abuses — though Thursday it said it had found them.

And, possible wrongdoing aside, the texts already handed over to Congress show that FBI counterintelligence expert Peter Strzok had all the security instincts of a teenager posting his bong hits on Instagram.

He actually left a record showing his clear pro-Hillary Clinton bias, with at-least-reckless talk of having an “insurance policy” if Donald Trump won the White House. That’s just amateurish tradecraft.

What a mess. To sort it all out, the public must see everything, including declassified versions of the Nunes and Schiff reports.
