"It also coordinates criminal cases involving the application of the Classified Information Procedures Act. In addition, the Section administers and enforces the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 and related disclosure statutes."
The section deals with classified records being mistreated, and (un)registered foreign agents. We KNOW that TFG interacts with a lot of people who are foreign agents, often unregistered, because multiple have been publicly identified and/or prosecuted. And the whole raid is already acknowledged to be about classified documents. So that's the obvious explanation for thos guy being involved. But clickbait, so tweets about nuclear.
