Get this! Mike Johnson is now claiming — with no evidence whatsoever — that Donald Trump once served as an FBI informant to help dismantle sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. Johnson told reporters Trump “was an FBI informant in an effort to take Epstein down.”

I’M NOT JOKING!!! 🤣🤣

How many major drug dealers were caught and became "fbi informants" to take down the rest?

Isn't this an admission of guilt?

Exactly what I came here to say. Many if not most informants are people who cut a deal in order to get out of their own charges because the evidence against them is so strong that they wouldn't stand a chance in court.

Now it is possible that the FBI had him on financial crimes and used him to get to Epstein however that's unlikely the case considering the courts have found Trump liable for one sexual assault (E. Jean Carroll) and he's been accused of several more including the rape of a 13 year old: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000158-26b6-dda3-afd8-b6fe46f40000

Are you implying that Trump, who is well known for his selflessness generosity and willingness to help others for a good cause, might have been acting out of selfish self interest?!??!

Yeah, informants are criminals working off a debt to law enforcement to lower their sentence or avoid prosecution for their own crimes.

Are they sure this is the angle they want to take?
