I think your read of this "AfI" is correct, but I would fit it into the overall picture differently.

It's a BS intel front. Ronny is a Deep State asset to be sure, and this can be read fairly plainly (well, it's plain to the astute) in evidence in the public record. Obviously his use is to lead people away from Trump at any cost. So They dream up this little initiative and fill it with high-wattage conspiratorial fantasy.

This has multiple uses. On the one hand, it draws researchers away from the real evidence against DeSantis, and this is probably the most important function. Also, it can be easily discredited and deboonked at will by the promoters of DeSantis as conspiracists "taking their best shot". Finally, for the brainwashed liberals it's sold as, "Look at these horrible fascists turning on each other."

The proof of this is that it took me about five seconds to analyze this and think it up. Do you think They're incapable of that?
