My head canon is that Barristan knows and this was his way of giving Jorah the opportunity to come clean. Which Jorah blew. Spectacularly.

Uuuuuugh. In typical Jorah fashion.

James Hibberd on Jorah and Barristan:

Characters are getting cleaned up and married off in this week's episode "Kissed By Fire"

"Barristan and Jorah bond over war stories and bicker about the future. Barristan suggests Jorah will be a drag on the Dany ticket once they reach Westeros. That's pretty rude and seems unlikely. She's not running for office, she's going to storm the country with thousands of Unsullied, three dragons and a rightful claim to the Iron Throne -- who cares if one member of her cabinet doesn't have a great reputation?"

Much ado about Barristan....

So everyone's scratching their head over whether Barristan actually knows for sure Jorah was Robert's informant, as in the books, or whether he's telling the truth about not sitting on the small council and his only real problem with Jorah is his past with the slave trade.

Could it be that Barristan merely suspects, but isn't certain, that Jorah was the informant?
