Jones' ego is insane. Q was gaining massive ground and had mountains of great info people were gravitating to...

AJ had no access to that, AJ wants to be a valuable, authoritative source, and he had zero access.

What we saw was a dude with a massive ego desperately trying to get a handle on Q so that he could be seen as an authority on the subject... he latched onto any source he had that claimed to have the inside scoop on Q and ended up looking like a complete fool.

He should have just steered clear of Q if he had no real sauce on it, or admitted he had absolutely no clue, but that's still a far way from being a enemy controlled actor..
