Curious Statement by Gaetz's Dad

Per the Politico interview,
“I said to the FBI ‘I’m willing to wear a wire and be cooperative,’ but I was asked to say things that are not true to draw out an admission,”
Its the later part of this statement which to me seems like he is laying the groundwork to be able to backtrack on some things he has said. It also does not say he wore a wire, only that he offered to do so.
