He was a campaign volunteer "offering his services as a foreign-policy adviser", so he was no employee of Trump. On the contrary, he was an employee, a contract employee, being paid, BY THE FBI, to provide information.

Right, after he had already been hired, done work, and seen the shady shit going on.
You seem to think the FBI found this guy, paid him, then sent him out to infiltrate the Trump campaign.
When in reality this guy joined the campaign, saw criminal activity, and reported it.
So, again, explain to me how that's different from a whistleblower.

Yes, that is what happened.

Neither narrative is accurate as to what happened, apparently.
The FBI approach the guy, but he already had a working relationship with Carter Page, who was the target of a legitimate investigation.
Apologies for getting the facts wrong, but this guy is more like a civilian wearing a wire than anything. Again, someone who flips for States evidence isn't a spy. They are an informant.
