If you are ever interviewed by the FBI,

1) ALL WAYS HAVE YOUR ATTORNEY PRESENT! Do not answer any questions, even the most innocent of questions without your attorney present.

2) Insist that the interview be video and audio recorded, or better yet, have the interview conducted at a location that posts notices that the site will be video and audio recorded .... and make the recording.

FBI standard procedure is to have two agents at each interview. One to ask the questions and one to take notes. If there is no other recording, then the courts will take the FBI agent’s testimony as fact. You will have no way to dispute what the agent reports as fact UNLESS you make a recording.

Check with your state and local laws with regards to recording conversations.

George HW Bush had a death grip on the coattails of the gipper....

If he hadn’t had the gipper momentum then it would have been “Almost”....

Probably not a good idea.Although it may come as a surprise to many on FR I can attest to the fact that it’s nearly impossible to find *anyone* in the Gay State who’ll admit to ever having voted for the Tank Commander for *anything*.I kid you not.He’s a laughingstock even *here*!

First, it should be Democrats, not democrats.

The obvious and logical answer to your question is: Democrats are EVIL!
