I said I would talk to an attorney first, whioch of course they had no problem with. They also said they couldn't force me to talk to them.
The only thing that might have some bearing on this as far as I can imagine is some heated emails I exchanged with various Dem Underground members last year during the election cycle. I gave as good as I got in those.
Anyone have any helpful info for me?

Quit posting about this on a public bulletin board , see a lawyer and do what he tells you'
Some little Weepy Willy liberal dropped a dime on You, and You made the list. You are in good company on that list, be proud of it! Never believe one damned thing that is said to You about intent, assume that they possess a copy of everything You said to anyone, and just tell the truth.
After it all is over, just remember that arguing with liberals is a total waste of breath.
Tape recorder. No tape recorder, no interview. The FBI likes to use hand written notes only, which sometimes do not reflect what was actually said in an interview. (To put it politely.)
Talk to them and ask THEM what is this all about?
Geesh!
You sound like you already have something to hide.
If you're really paranoid, bring a lawyer with you.
If I could help the FBI out in some way that pertained to my patriotic duty as a citizen I would.
If they were looking at me for ANYTHING I would make one statement to them and it would be the last thing I ever said to them: I understand you people prosecute folks for lying to you and that you determine what is a lie, therefore I cannot talk to you ... ever.
Go talk to them, they're the good guys.
Was any part of either side of your discussions on DU concerned with causing harm to anyone? Even figuratively?
Have family that had a top government clearance....They, their neighbors, their family are regularly called in. The one with the clearance even had to take lie detector tests.
Call lawyers until you find one that personally knows, and has worked cases with, the agent that wants to talk to you. You'll know you've found the right one when he is able to tell you either immediately or after making a couple of phone calls, what they want to talk to you about.
How do you know this person was really from the FBI?

Call a lawyer. Don't make any statements until then.
If you do go and visit them forget about bringing a tape recorder in or anything else they don't want there. You will be very throughly searched and will have to go through very sensitive metal detectors.
It sounds to me like they want you for information on something and it may be that the person or persons that are working on the actual case want you to come to them instead of them taking the time to come to you.
You will find that FBI special agents are very professional people that are highly educated and extremely good at what they do.
I doubt you have anything to worry about. If you did you would know.
TAKE A LAWYER!
Is anyone in your sphere of influence possibly interviewing for a job with the FBI, CIA, ATF, or any other similar govt agency?
It is common for the FBI to conduct interviews when investigating someone else who may be under consideration for employment that requires a security clearance.
Eat lots of egg salad sandwiches and enchiladas, and change your FR handle to 'Silent But Deadly'. Then go visit the FBI.
They'll never ask you back again.
Seriously, I doubt that you have anything to worry about. IF you were in any trouble at all, they would have just swooped down on your ass, picked you up, cuffed you, and that would be all she wrote Dear John.
Don't go in there with an attitude, and be respectful, and they'll treat you the same way.
Tell the feds that when they get serious about the illegals committing crimes each day you will help them convict an American.
On Sunday, here in Olympia, Washington, we had a very bad windy storm, and several trees all over the area went down...then the power went out, and stayed out for over 9 hours...I was furious, that it was taking so dang long for the power to come back on...so my hubby, drove around the area, going to various power substations, trying to see what was going on...apparently he never found our substation, tho, as all the substations he saw, had no activity, or repairing going on...
The next day, I called the power company, with an inquiry as to why it took so long for the power to come back on...I am not in an isolated area, rather am in an area, with thousands of homes...the power company personel were very nice, and explained to me, that a number of trees had crashed into our local power substation, and had caused major, major damage, which took a long time to repair...
So then I asked where the power sub station was, that serviced our neighborhood...they would not tell me...the reason being, that anyone asking for the location of power substations, is automatically flagged as a possible terrorist...
Good grief, I asked this guy, do you really think I am a terrorist?...I told him I was just a little old lady...he said, well no, he figured I was legit, as I was just asking about the power station in my area, and asking after a bad storm, and a long, long blackout...
Since 9/11, they said, that if too many people inquired about where power substations were, they would begin to think that terrorists were planning a joint bombing of power stations, to cause widespread blackouts, and chaos...
So on the one hand, its good that they are vigilant...but it was scarey, knowing that I might be flagged as a possible terrorist..
