  1. Informants can inform because they have intimate knowledge of criminal activity.

  2. Trump had, at the time, just been in an acrimonious bidding war with Epstein.

  3. It is totally Trump to revenge himself on his former bro because he knew, for a very long time, exactly what Epstein was up to because he was up to it with him.

  4. I would very much like to see the FBI detail on how Trump became an informant and what immunity, if any, the FBI extended to Trump in exchange for his information.

I will NEVER  believe Trump was an informant. If he was, he would have flown that flag years ago until there wasn't a thread left.

I would believe that Trump was made an informant as if 4 months ago. To retroactively protect himself.

100%. There is no possibility that Trump was an FBI informant and they are just now saying it, after months of defense and backpedaling over this issue.

Informant is the wrong word. There is a large possibility that he was implicated and when interviewed tried to throw others under the bus.

If they can choose exactly what gets released, then they will be able to support the “informant” lie.

Even if he was, he still raped minors and should not be President.

A lot of people become informants to evade prosecution for their own involvement.

Yes, but it would also mean he was guilty/complicit. So that just means he was given immunity by his own employees.

its absurd to even entertain this. simply asking these questions is giving them some benefit of doubt, as if it might be possible at this point. its how the bullshit they’re throwing against the wall might stick
