I researched the first season recently and there was some stuff that I had forgotten. Jorah was reporting to Verys. Then when Robert sent to have Dany killed the kid that gave Jorah the Royal pardon and ultimately tipped off Jorah said, "the spider says congratulations you can go home."
Also after Robert died Ned told Verys that the king had a change of heart and Verys said that it was too late.
I took this to mean that Verys set it all up. So it leads me to believe that he wouldn't set up an effective murder plan if he was sympathetic to the Targaeyian Renaissance.
In season 5 when Dany calls Jorah on spying he said he quit after the dragons were born. It's possible that Jorah convinced Verys to be sypathetic. But that seems a bit of a leap.
It makes me wonder if he's not behind the Harpie thing. Either way, it's curious as to what his motivations are.
