I suppose it is quite a good ploy. They keep Jones up-to-speed with the real news but make sure that he does not leak anything irrevocably damaging. Then he builds up many of the more right-wing followers.
Then, when something really bad needs to be covered up you tell Jones 95% truth and just enough of a lie to get him into trouble. He is probably in on the scam.
Finally, there is a court case and Jones is made to eat crow while paying off $millions in fines. It worked for Pizzagate and it worked for Sandyhook but it is all one big act - allegedly!
