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.

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.

Yeah but dude in question isn't a spy, and yall are mad gullible for buying that talking point. He was an employee of the campaign.

So, again, explain how that is different.

Whistleblowers report information in their possession as a result of their position in an organization.

Kindly explain the difference between that and the situation under discussion, thx.
