Was Tim McVeigh a federal informant?

I recently listened to this podcast which explores the book below:

Aberration in the Heartland of the Real: The Secret Lives of Timothy McVeigh, by Wendy S. Painting

tl;dr
* Tim was probably a paid federal informant.
* At least the FBI and ATF knew about it all along.
* The "bomb" as built couldn't have exploded.
* Tim stopped by an unknown warehouse before he dropped off the bomb.
* Tim claimed that the bomb wasn't supposed to work, or was supposed to just blow up some windows. He told his first set of lawyers that he thought the bombs were switched.
* OKC had cameras EVERYWHERE, and the building blown up was INSIDE a federal compound, not just an isolated federal building.
* The rental truck was supposed to be parked in a parking garage, but it wouldn't fit. Tim tried every which way to get it in there, then drove to the top of a hill to make a phone call before dropping it off outside the federal building.
* Unexploded plastic explosives were found wrapped around support columns in the federal building that was blown up.
* Federal informants visited white nationalist/separatism/etc compounds/communities and basically tried to sell/shill the EXACT OKC bombing scenario to any WNs dumb enough to fall for it. None of them did, however, because it's obvious they were cops.
* Tim's partial medical records show 75 dentist/doctor visits in 2 years. During his time in the Gulf War, he was injected with experimental vaccines and took anti-chemical weapon drugs. He was also exposed to depleted uranium, burning oil wells, and who knows what else.
* Tim got VA medical care even after he was convicted and put on death row.
* Tim believed that he wouldn't get executed, and would be spirited away. He expedited his execution and appeals, and got federal laws changed so there'd be no autopsy after his execution. A witness to the execution report that it didn't show anything, just McVeigh on a slab in what could be a still photo for a few minutes.
* Witnesses after the bombing - and many other witnesses who saw Tim during his travels across the country as a federal informant - reported seeing multiple Timothy McVeighs (body doubles?) leaving the scene, in different vehicles, with other people.
