[GTA 5] Questions about the prologue heist

Did Michael and the FIB preplan the heist to fail? Or was the heist legit with the FIB offering Michael the deal after he was wounded?

If it was the first one, why would they let Michael murder dozens of police officers,traumatize the civilians and cause massive property damage(blowing the safe, crashing the cars)?Couldn't they do it in a more efficient way like have Michael tell the crew to bunker inside while the FIB pump knockout gas inside?

If it is the second option, why would they offer Michael this deal?He's just after murdering dozens of innocent North Yankton police officers aswell as property damage and robbery. He should be getting the electric chair. Half of the robbery crew are dead, one captured and they know who Trevor is and can hunt him. What reason would they put Michael in protection instead of just arresting him?

Michael wasn't in witness protection at least not the fib's version. He was paying off Davey to keep him hidden that is mentioned in the set-up for the first heist. In Bury the Hatchet, we see that Michael met Davey before the depot job in North Yankton and they set that up together. Trevor was supposed to be killed (being the most dangerous) and Brad was supposed to go to jail with the FIB but because Michael fucked up and the security Guard was killed then the police were sent in. Due to that Davey relocated Michael to SA with all his money which is taken from witnesses in witsec in exchange for a pay off.
