I've seen this other cases like this.

1. The fbi asks you to be an informant or "cooperate" with an investigation in some way.

2. If you refuse, they investigate you, and basically throw the book at you.

They also do their best to try and force you in a corner and get you to lie, since lying to them is a felony. Then they use that as leverage to scare you further.
