The FBI source supplying false information -- not being 'candid' in IG parlance -- need to be FIRED and held accountable for their actions. There is no excuse for this.
Somebody needs to grow a spine.
They're lying because the FBI is corrupt - AND they're hiding stuff... much bigger stuff than we've seen so far.
“The most important thing about this revelation is the fact that the FBI covered up the names of these two by falsely claiming they were counterintelligence. Who lied and why? What else have they lied about?”
A close second is if either of these agents are married having an affair opens them up to blackmail. I would think such an affair should have been grounds for dismissal or, at the very least, loss of security clearance. Even if both are unmarried it creates problems that would need to be addressed. With this likely being the second affair among high ranking FBI officials it looks like the FBI security is lacking.-

EVERYTHING
“Who lied and why?”
It seems they lie because they can. Part of their job description, maybe?
They also bypass chain of command when it suits them.
