The situation caused her anxiety, yes, but resolving it was still on the onus of the FBI, by way of talking to her lawyer.

  The FBI only has to do that if they really care about resolving it. If the FBI doesn't care too much about resolving it (and obviously they don't care enough to actually talk to her lawyer about it), then it'll just stay unresolved and continue to cause anxiety to the woman involved.

    Yes, and? Her best course of action was, at that point, still "let the lawyer handle it".

      And now we're back where we started, where I point out that the FBI is refusing to tell the lawyer what's going on. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11632021 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11632021

        And again... that's their problem, not hers. Her only reasonably prudent action at that point was to do nothing. Talking to the FBI directly instead of letting her lawyer handle it could have just made things worse. If the FBI actually wanted anything to get done instead of just harassing her, they should have talked to her lawyer.
