Informant vs Spy. In real life these two nouns mean exactly the same thing. But in today's strange politics the democrats seem to think that "informant" sounds better than "spy". They are calling the spy planted upon the Trump campaign in 2016 was really only an informant, which sounds so much nicer than spy.
I will admit that "informant" is used in law enforcement stories whereas "spy" is used in military and international stories, but they both work the same. A harmless looking individual is planted on the enemy and passes useful/damaging information to the other side.
If the spy/informant planted on the Trump campaign story holds up, it will cause a furore, probably as big as Watergate.
