Perhaps it could even be put on Wikisource (works of US Federal Govt.
employees in the course of their official duties are ineligible for

The FBI puts most of its released FOIA material

Oh, I didn't know that. Yes, then, it would.
It's a big thing now.
Bear in mind that the author, the FBI or whoever, is inherently a
citable source - they're the government. All you need to do is make
sure that the material is available to people who aren't you; indeed,
I'd argue that hosting it on your own website is fine as long as it's
not in serious doubt the original publisher was the FBI. (and
copyright permits)
