It's highly likely that the FBI lied. But I don't understand their agents mindset. Is it "the ends justify the means"? I don't get the thinking. If I took an oath to "faithfully uphold the Public Trust" or some such, I wouldn't engage in routine prevarication. I guess that's why I'm not in law enforcement.

  The FBI could be covering up a case of "parallel construction"[1], which is all about the ends justifying (in their eyes) the (unconstitutional) means. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction
