Contrary to popular belief, the DOJ and FBI are separate entities. It would be the DOJ breaking the law, as they filed the pleadings, not the FBI.

More so, whether or not undercover agents were involved on January 6th is exculpatory material that the DOJ has to turn over in pre-trial discovery. Failure to do so would not only probably render every conviction on these facts reversible, but also expose the government to massive civil liability.

Even more so, if undercover agents were indeed involved, the DOJ could effectively dodge this entire civil liability / conviction integrity issue just by saying they were "unindicted persons" — which would have the same result as these pleadings.
