It is impossible to be interrogated by the fbi without technically lying.
“So when did lying to the FBI become a crime?”
-— Hillary Clinton
I believe that for a lie to be prosecuted it needs to be about a material fact done with intention. I don’t get why Flynn intended to deceive the FBI about what direction he received from Trump’s team.

Want to stop an FBI interview from happening? Insist that all interviews be recorded.
I had exactly that happen to me. I reported a suspicious event shortly after 911. The FBI said they would like to interview me. I said I would like to record the interview.
They told me that if I insisted on recording the interview, it would never happen.
While I have tremendous respect for law enforcement in this country, I think that anyone who speaks with LEOs regarding anything more serious than jay walking without at least 50 lawyers present is a fool.
