Who in hell made that law?

The next question is can you be compelled to answer any question asked by the FBI. I would think no because of the 5th Amendment but who knows what the Constitution means anymore, if anything.

On the assumption you were to not open your mouth at all, for the entire interview, what would be their option, since most of the evidence they obtain is likely to be from the mouth of the interviewee?

It is my understanding that if you say anything beyond your name, address and social security number you effectively have given up your right to an attorney, so if you say My name is Blaswell V Peanoodle and I live at 79 Wistful Vista and my ss number is 123-3457-328 you are ok, but if you add and I work for J Arthur Prufrock and Associates then you are in trouble and have given up your rights.

What I want to know this morning is why in hell is it a punishable crime to lie to the FBI? The FBI can lie to us without punishment. They do it all the time to set up and entrap suspected criminals. Politicians lie to we the people every minute of every day and get rewarded with reelection. I want to know who the hell made the stupid law making it a crime to lie to the FBI so I can put that idiot or idiots on my "never vote for $#@!" list.

I have to agree with you on this one. If you lie under oath then yea but just lying when questioned?

They would have no options other than to end the interview. Know your rights. 5th Amendment trumps them. End of story. Our founders were towering intellects to forsee the abuses of government and how to protect the citizens.

The Bill of Rights.. is an amazing document.

I am not 100% sure that is right. You can shut up at anytime.....Unless you explicitly agree to talk in exchange for some consideration..like a plea etc..

Remember the FBI is just a police force. They have no special powers that your local Barney Fife does not. Treat them the same way.

Another important point is that people believe if the Police/FBI are just chatting them up and they tell you you are NOT a suspect that you have to talk to them or it is not dangerous. That is INCORRECT! Don't talk to them!

As the Admiral's Avatar says! IT IS A TRAP

Hilarious ... just think, if Trumpf hadn't fired FBI Director Comey he would be free to conduct his ongoing criminal organisation (RICO) with impunity ... and Trumphytes would continue to squeal with delight ... *snicker*

Give them time to reinterpret the BOR's

We have the presumption of innocence here. We are not required to help and only a fool does so. It's the job of the police to get evidence. You ought to read what rights we have. You might want them for your nation.
