Very interesting story. Thanks for sharing. I hear lawyers always say don't talk to cops/law enforcement because it will only hurt you. But in this case it appears to have helped your friend.

I swear I don't know what to do if in that situation. Do I shut up and get my lawyer to deal with it. But in the meantime I'm arrested, possibly lose my job, get hit with legal bills and other inconveniences. Or do I take a chance I'll say something they will take out of context and use against me?

Lawyers will always say that, they generate fees that way.

Personally I'm a huge believer in if you've got nothing to hide, cooperate as fully as humanly possible so that any suspicion is quickly shifted away from you (or I..) and all energy is rightly directed towards finding the real culprit. Thats what I told my friend that morning on the phone. When one is truly innocent, it comes out pretty quickly and from all appearances the FBI were more interested in finding the ACTUAL person who sent the threat than they were in simply seizing equipment and making a quick arrest.
