Selective enforcement is a thing. Lying to the FBI in the course of an investigation is a crime, and because the lie can be about something the FBI already knows, it's frequently used as a proxy for actual crime.
What happened to retired General David Petraeus was a pretty good example of "justice for your friends". Lying to FBI agents, actually giving away classified documents, and he pled to one misdemeanor and got two years probation[1].
It's not like they didn't have evidence of the False Statements charge.
