Honestly, Team Walker and team Sam were both acting illegally, as far as I can tell, Sam going off with a wanted criminal Bucky helped escape, and Walker in the jail said they were just going to run with the assumption that Sam and Bucky helped Zemo escape rather than formally accuse them, which explains why Walker was without his GRC team, he wasn't acting in an official capacity, he and Lemar were simply crossing national borders on his own. Sam and Bucky are actually lucky Zemo wasn't with them when the military came in and "benched" them. This does lend a little credence to Walker's feeling that what happened wouldn't have if they had acted as a team. They could have coordinated with the GRC, maybe gotten Zemo out officially so he could help them with the case, had backup. Lemar might not have died. But then, the same could be said of if Walker hadn't tracked them to Latvia.
