The motive for them being there to protect or crucify him both make sense through the lens of political bias.
That said though the issue of FBI informants being embedded in the Trump campaign in and of itself shouldn't be a big deal if there was an open investigation regarding Russian interference in the election.
Just sounds like normal counter-intelligence to me.

You're spinning this into a matter of interpretation. It's not. It's what The Clap said. That is
his excuse. He owns it. The spies (as opposed to your spin of "informants") were there, according to The Clap, to protect Trump from Russian troublemakers. The spies were there to spy on Russians.
You, evidently, do not find any irony in Clap's story, even though I gave you a big hint. So, indulge me and I'll 'splain it to ya.
But first, I'll ask: Who was it that had all the problems with Russians hacking into DNC servers? (Just is like asking who is buried in Grant's tomb just to help you to properly interpret my question.) And wasn't it Podesta, Hillary's campaign manager, who claimed his 'puter was hacked into? And who were the Russians out to get? Were they out to thwart Hillary's chances of getting elected or Trump's chances? Isn't the entire underlying premise to the "Russia collusion" meme or even, now, the Spygate scandal that Trump's presidency is
illegitimate because the Wascally Ruskies tilted the election in his favor by exercising undue influence over xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx number of voters? (Feel free to fill in with numbers, if you want play the guessing game. Maybe you can get Hcap to play with you.)
Well then....don't you find it a wee bit strange and a
whole bunch of ironic that while it was the Dems who supposedly were under attack by the Russians, that no one thought to infiltrate Hillary's campaign with planted spies to
protect Hilllary, too?
Look what happened by that little oversight. It costs Hillary the election! (If you don't believe me, ask her!) In other words, the Obama Administration, Obama's DOJ and Obama's FBI screwed up royally and it cost Hillary dearly. Or...it could be asked: Why weren't any of these government entities offering the same protection to Hillary as they were so zealous and eager to do for Trump?
And all this is doubly true because there was actual collusion inside the Hillary campaign to screw Crazy Bernie out of the nomination. Did the Russians influence that decision to give the shaft to poor Bernie?
And even more than this: If the planted spies in the Trump campaign were really out to protect Trump's interest, why didn't they inform Trump up front? Why did they keep their covert operation a well guarded secret from a lawfully nominated presidential nominee?
In fact...if the DOJ and FBI
knew who these Ruskies were (or their operatives), why didn't they arrest them on the spot and put an end to their [illegal] activities prior to the election? What heroes they would have been in the eyes of the electorate! They would have been viewed as the Saviors of Democracy. Saviors of the Constitution. Saviors of Freedom! I mean...The Clap has also said that the amount of proof is STAGGERING! If the DOJ and the FBI had half of the amount of proof that everyone supposedly now has (conveniently after the fact!), then why weren't arrests made prior to the election to
PROTECT the integrity of the election process? Wasn't this truly the primary underlying reason, in the first place, for having spies implanted into the Trump campaign? If you're inclined to believe the Clap (which I'm sure you are), we can only infer that it was to protect the integrity of the process, right?
