Just saying:
Are FBI agents public record?
"No. Such information is protected from public disclosure, in accordance with current law and Department of Justice and FBI policy. This policy preserves the integrity of the investigation and the privacy of individuals involved in the investigation prior to any public charging for violations of the law." (emph added)

Trump or Trump's team (through agency--I dunno how that would work) released this unredacted copy of the warrant and property list BEFORE the deadline for Trump's response and before any legal ruling on the motion to release the warrant. This is important. If they had released it after the motion hearing, it might or might not be moot. Not sure.
Can we charge Breitbart for disclosing the FBI names? Well, we could, but it would be next to impossible to convict them due to the fact that they are a news agency. But, we can charge Trump for the deed.
First Rule of Holes:
If you are in a hole you can't get out of, stop digging. In this case, stop doing crimes.
Garland is protecting his guys. Now, these guys are threatened. Time for another charge.

His release of the unredacted warrant has caused threats to FBI agents. He's siccing his 'militia' on to law enforcement. The crazy dude in cincinnati was only the first of many I'm afraid.
This was the article I saw this morning:
