You might be proven wrong twice then Mags.
Confidential FBI informants are not 'spies'.
After getting intel that Russian operatives were trying to compromise the Trump campaign, a confidential informant (or two) was used to check it out, as is appropriate.
That was after the FBI was already made aware of Trump campaign advisor George Papadopolous' drunkenly telling Australian intelligence that the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton. The FBI investigation was thus already in process.
There's no evidence whatsoever that the FBI was doing anything other than their job in investigating reports of a foreign adversary interfering in our election.
I believe I read it confirmed that the FBI warned the Trump campaign early on that they had reports of attempted Russian interference. If so, the campaign didn't listen or didn't care because campaign advisors continued to meet with Russian operatives many times; meetings which they later denied or mischaracterized until evidence proved their denials and characterizations as false. Then those campaign advisors claimed that they hadn't lied about the meetings but simply forgotten them.
