What does "informant" mean for you exactly? Do you even know what that word means?

Correct, but that doesnt mean informants cant act freely? Nor are they federal employees?

That would be a crime to lie on the stand. And what indication is there that the handler is politically motivated or that it would have any influence here?

I dont know why you're defending a completely braindead take lol

And is the implication here that informants with political positions we don’t agree with shouldn’t be used as informants? This is just further solidifying you do not understand the role of an informant.

Who vetted the informant? A MAGA FBI agent? a MAGA Special Agent? A MAGA Special Agent in Charge? All of the above?
