I'm actually suprised that the DA isn't filing some bogus charge against the kid.

DA is also charged with determining the truth in order to protect the Public. Since the Feds are the ones suspected of wrongdoing, the Local DA helps to keep some degree of check and balance on the investigation. I'm glad to see the state and county NOT turn jurisdiction over to the FBI on this one. Helps keep doubt on credibility limited to those agents involved in the incident and allows senior law enforcement and institutions to remain intact.
