My argument is that this assumption is a false one. The FBI (or possible another entity) engaged people like Halpert not to uncover evidence but to initiate activites by certain campaign workers that could be used as evidence. It's not a false assumption. It's simply constrained by what we know, which is that they sought to shed light on Russian interfaces via an informant. But which is not the same as what you suspect. That's not to say that what you suspect didn't happen, only that you're getting ahead of yourself when treating it like it did. I'm not going there until and unless the trail goes there. The default is always that everything is as it would reasonably be expected to be. Until and unless an anomaly appears.
