I really don't! But it seems to me that they spend too much time investigating illegal activities and not enough time protecting the US citizens. The only purpose of an undercover operation should be to get enough on the criminals to obtain a warrant and arrest them. Stop to the crimes, that's the FBI's REAL job.
