They'd claim 'hackers' did it, or that it was the action of a single
overzealous employee.  If necessary a scapegoat would be fired.  The
consequences would be negligible compared to what would befall a business
in a similar circumstance.  Besides, the FBI has a history of bad
judgement.

Then, of course, there is the possibility that the NSA 'aided' the FBI in
this matter...
