How about the FBI/CIA/DHS/NSA don't like people who don't play by the accepted rules sticking their nose into their business, so they tell a little white lie to try to avoid that?

The three letter agencies have had plenty of people killed before, so "they'd never do that" isn't going to get you very far.

Think this through. Multiple people in the FBI, CIA, DHS, and NSA all decided this? Together? Did they have meetings? And no one is spilling the beans, even though there are maybe dozens or hundreds of people in on it? Not one of them has more to gain by revealing the conspiracy than by keeping silent? And they're all so confident that no one will squeal that they're having press releases now? And the point of this whole treasonous conspiracy was to cause a minor inconvenience for their soon-to-be boss?

That's more believable than "Russia hacked the DNC and the FBI was honest about it"?

Haha, I know, it does sound rather crazy. However, once again I will play the Snowden card: all of that was called crazy conspiracy talk, because there would be too many people involved who <insert your words here> so thinking that is just crazy.

It's certainly not crazy to not trust these people. Deceit is their job.

Not to mention the number of dinosaurs still in each institution that can be simply told what to believe when it comes to technology.
