I dont think its semantics so much as a lie.

Theyre trying to imply that trump was a secret fbi informant so they can explain the redactions in the heavily censored files that they plan on releasing to overhang (this is a disinformation technique) the epstein files.

It looks like this is a final draft of the narrative. Its neither plausible nor is it possible (fbi directors could contradict this claim). I doubt it will successfully deceive most people looking for answers about the epstein list.
