I don't know if it would be clever, but I would have told them not to come by without a warrant. Everything I have read that advises you on how to deal with the police or government alphabet storm troopers says to 1) Never let them in your home 2) never consent to a search and 3) never volunteer any information.
I may even have an attorney present, certainly in a case like this where the government assumption is that you have done something wrong, and they are coming to let you prove you have not.
If you are not a suspect, then you can tell them to leave at any time. If you allow them into your home they can snoop and charge you with something if they see a technical violation. If you blurt out something in your nervousness and haste to co-operate, it can be used against you.
I don't think (if it had been me) that I would have co-operated. Sure, you don't want to impede an investigation, but just who were they investigating here?
