I already know the FBI agent was indicted for lying and obstructing justice. It doesn’t change what I said.

Here’s more details about what happened from your linked article:

Investigators said a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team fired at Finicum as his 2015 Dodge pickup truck crashed into a snow bank at a roadblock on U.S. 395. Finicum had just sped away from a surprise traffic stop on the rural highway as the occupation leaders traveled off the refuge to a community meeting Jan. 26, 2016.

The agent’s bullets didn’t hit Finicum, 54, an Arizona rancher who was the spokesman for the armed takeover of the federal sanctuary near Burns in Harney County. Moments later, state police troopers shot Finicum three times after he emerged from his white truck and reached for his inner jacket pocket, where police said he had a loaded 9mm handgun. One bullet pierced his heart, an autopsy found.

Let me post again what I wrote.

Why then did the FBI agents lie and say they didn’t shoot? Why is OSP conducting an investigation into the agents?

I didn't claim that the FBI agent shot Finnicum. IIRC there's a bullet lodged in one of the other people that were in the pickup that has had no ballistics testing done on. Who exactly has the FBI's "hostage rescue team" (snort) ever rescued? Seems to me the only thing they're good at is shooting women (Weaver) and children (Waco).
