Gestapo tactics. Designed to shake a person up and get him to say something that can be used against him.
Yes.
Most people are no match for that kind of interrogation.
That’s an excellent point! Even if this never happened, and I do not believe it did (at least the way as reported) remember two individuals: Scooter Libby and Martha Stewart. They were both prosecuted for LYING to investigators. Not for any crime they were being investigated for in the first place, but just for not telling the truth in Stewarts case, and forgetting and miss-stating in Libby’s case.
If the FBI wanted to, they could probably sit us down, ask a couple of hundred questions, and use our answers to “prove” we were not being truthful and therefore lying under oath, a felony. A successful prosecution would mean you have no gun rights. Think on that for a moment.
