If you are a bragging informant, you are too stupid to trust. When their 15 minutes of sycophantic fame disappear, that person is a brief, albeit forgotten, name in history.
Few make it very far when they are informing to an insecure pig whose days are numbered.
Bragging about how close you are to the main traitor pig because you're proud of it is indeed stupidly dumb but then such folks aren't known for their brilliance/keen minds are they? Thank you for your reply Sharon! That graphic is nightmarish! OY VEY! :)
