The CIA and the FBI are two very different institutions. CIA is mostly made of up Ivy League and upper 'crust' scions. The FBI 'team' are of much less education and humbler origins, generally. They also have general different political alliances. They work together on a few high-profile things, but mostly work alone and sometimes against the other. I don't consider either as the 'Secret Government'....maybe a small part of it [the 'enforcers', in part, for the real Secret Government - and the CIA more closely aligned with the real forces of the Secret Government on most things - not all.
Now, with Trump and the election we had the very strange episode of the FBI clearly [I think] making statements and actions that would hurt Clinton and help Trump. It was pretty clear that the rank and file FBI agent preferred Trump. NOW, the FBI is reported to be asking the Justice Dept. to refute the new Trump allegation that Obama wiretapped him [something I think very unlikely would have originated with Obama if it ever was done at all]. However, the head of the Justice Dept. is Sessions - Trumps most loyal servant. All very strange how this will play out.
I think the 'Russia-connection' is a red herring, but it will continue to be the focus of political and media drama and speculation and now it seems investigation. Whatever the truth or untruth, however, Trump has painted himself into a corner. He is not wise politically and much too quick to express his assumptions as fact on twitter or in speeches. The political machinations in D.C. are endlessly bizarre, partisan, full of lies if not entirely lies, and do nothing to help the country or the People. It is just persons and groupings of people/interests fighting among themselves for power, position, leverage, 'points'.
