They are controlling the information (just like they tried to do with the iphone) so that the facts are what they say they are, and missteps are not able to be exposed by outside parties. Look how long it took them to admit they made the data impossible to retrieve?
They first blamed it on San bernadino IT staff (implying a larger conspiracy), then when apple exposed how exactly the data was locked up, they still stonewalled until it would have required perjury to keep their incompetence hidden.
No these guys cannot be trusted with anything important. Let them set up stings, recruit hapless wannabe jihadis with fake isis handlers. I guess that is more their speed....they only need to be slightly less incompetent than those they frame.
No way does the FBI get anything important. Not if we can prevent it.

Exactly.
... recruit hapless wannabe jihadis with fake isis handlers....
And what they did was ensure nothing that would reveal their fake ISIS handler Ithird shooter) was on that phone, then they had it scrambled. They executed the husband and wife team so that they couldn't reveal the third shooter either.
