Feds don't have to publish all charges to arrest someone. As long as there is a provable charge, they can arrest, and then let the target know what other charges they can bring. So lying to FBI probably wouldn't obtain cooperation, but the list of other charges they have will. That's why Baker is cooperating.
Does lying to the fbi carry a stiff enough penalty for him to start singing like a bird?

Gotcha. Appreciate the explanation. That makes sense.
