The FBI can lie to you. But it’s a crime if you lie to the FBI.
It’s too late for Mr. Fortenberry. But for everyone else, remember these magic words, “On the advice of my lawyer, I will remain silent.”

Just tell them that you are recording the interview and they will slither away ... they can lie if there is no tape ... especially when there are two of them and one of you.
