Who knows. They've already basically admitted it's a lie.

>The two men were known to authorities, and had been under FBI surveillance for more than a month in late 2021 and early 2022, FBI special agent Mark Tucher said in an affidavit filed in federal court on Tuesday. The agent did not give reasons for that surveillance, but Tucher described himself in the affidavit as an expert in domestic terrorism assigned to the FBI Seattle division's joint terrorism task force.

The dates were almost certainly a typo and they surveilled these two only after the attacks. There's really no reason for the FBI to be in a hurry though I suppose. If it's there they'll probably find it and if they don't find it, it's probably not there

It hasn't even been a month since the attacks so how would that be possible for them to have been under surveillance for a month if it's a typo?

On page 9 of the charging document it is pretty clear that the surveillance was from 27 Dec 22 to 30 Dec 22 but was typo'd.
