My wager is that they were not able to crack it, and that the reason it appears to be proceeding faster than a normal case is that it takes virtually no time to come up with a bluff, which was only created to allow them to save face in pulling out of a court case which would have set a pro-liberty precedent.

Yeah, except for the fact that it is illegal for FBI agents to lie to the judge, and if they get caught, they will lose their careers and quite possibly their freedom.

I don't think they are lying to the Judge, and therefore they are not lying at all.

Lying to judges is routine for the government.

Three separate agencies in this example, and if there were any sanctions or other penalties for these lies I have missed them.

Unless they’re in Boston.
