There are federal laws that may have been broken .. which is why the Feds are investigating .. which is also not uncommon in murder investigations of this nature.

what exactly are they cherry picking? There was a lot of info just turned over to the defense team. Just a guess, but I doubt the link in the OP covered everything they investigated.
