You've now completely walked back your ridiculous and specious original assertion that the FBI planted a spy within the campaign for the purpose of setting up Papadopolous, yet pretend that your original assertion somehow remains true.
Spygate has now gone the way of Trump's birtherism claims, Ted Cruz's dad's murder of JFK, and Pizzagate. Yet, you still not only believe it, but are trying to get others to believe Trump's lies. Sad.

How cute! Whell pretending to be adult and all. You’re about as grown up as your petulant man-child hero Donny.

Your OP has been proven false with a number of Trump's enablers (Ryan, Gowdy, McConnell, Rooney) saying so. Furthermore, Trump's sycophantic lapdog Nunes now appears to have abandoned the lie once he received the classified briefing. Why don't you just admit that you stupidly bought into Trump's lie that has subsequently been shown to be false (which was apparent to most sentient beings from the beginning)?

Nope, I haven't. As I've said, you're playing semantics. To me, whether or not lying sack of crap Clapper, you, whomever wants to refer to this individual as an "informant" not a "spy" is not relevant. Whether lying sack of crap Clapper, you, whomever wants to say that this individual acted as a glorified whistle blower or was "planted" is not relevant. The essential facts remain the same. There's little question that Papadopolous was targeted, and apparently manipulated.

Nope, it hasn't, your characterization of their comments not withstanding.

“The Brainwashing of My Dad”: Rightwing agitprop’s cult-like effects
Quote:
Audiences usually encounter zombies in horror flicks, but they’re also in Jen Senko’s “The Brainwashing of My Dad” in the form of Rush Limbaugh’s “dittoheads” and Fox News viewers. Senko’s 90-minute documentary explores the techniques of and effects rightwing media has on listeners/viewers/readers, such as the filmmaker’s father, a WWII veteran who’d voted Democratic before falling under the spell of toxic talk and TV disinformation. “Brainwashing” investigates the historical development of right-wing indoctrination with news and film clips (including 1962’s Cold War thriller “The Manchurian Candidate”), some animation by two-time Oscar nominee Bill Plympton, interviews with Limbaugh and Fox acolytes and their estranged loved ones, plus a variety of pundits and commentators, including: Noam Chomsky, David Brock, George Lakoff, Thom Hartmann, Frank Luntz and Jeff Cohen.

In other words, you write without knowing what it means.
