> I'd suggest you read a bit that Ken White has written about federal prosecutions. Basically if they really want you, they'll trip you up in interviews and charge you with lying to the FBI.

This is just another reason to take the wargames advice when it comes to talking to the police:

> The only winning move is not to play.

Use your right to remain silent.

Yeah, for sure. Even if you just want to be a good citizen it's in your best interest to steer clear of FBI questioning in general. They'll squeeze you hard if they think you know something valuable, even if you in fact know nothing. They're incentivized to do so, and face no repercussions if they're wrong.
