Is there a legal reason why instead of the FBI giving the name, someone(s) leaks it to CBS News?

Plausible deniability.

The FBI and press need to coordinate the narrative. “Disgruntled Trump supporter, white supremacist, racist, right wing republican, NRA member.”

All the usual stuff. Anything they can use to further clamp down on our freedom and begin persecuting trump supporters in earnest.

Investigators, local, state or federal never tell the public about the investigation, properly so. Unless they need the public to supply some information, they don’t reveal anything. Doing so almost always compromises the work you are doing.
