You do realize the FBI is a law enforcement agency, right? It is so commonplace and expected that they have literally issued press releases where they publicly claim to have hacked criminal networks [1]. For that matter, who do you think hired various domestic hackers out of jail? At this point, the advantages of exploit development are so obvious and lopsided that you need evidence that an agency with motive is not engaging in exploit development. Even then, they routinely lean on the other agencies to get access to hacking capabilities that they might not have in-house, so the gap is even smaller if we talk about hacking capabilities.
