I did find it interesting that men were sent with a machine to find out what Sinclair knew. And exactly who did send them? Do we ever really know? Wouldn't Psi-Corps have been better? Would it have been against their rules? And I noticed on the comments at Lurker's guide that there is one disturbing question: Did Ivanova know about this? Hmmmm... what do you all think?

Perhaps Psi-Corps isn't trusted with this information...?

Perhaps! I wouldn't trust them with anything!

Well, it's clear that the Knights weren't supposed to be official, for all the hints that, yes, maybe the government was behind it. And the Psi Corps don't really have that kind of plausible deniability - all the teeps are Corps, and it's not like it's easy for rogues to get around. Plus it would pretty much have to be Psi *Cops*, and - even harder to convince people that they weren't official.
