1 - Ask for an attorney.
2 - Don't say anything else, other than perhaps "I am not going to answer any questions."

Yep. Many just don’t understand that when they have their sights on you, *anything* you say will be distorted into a ‘lie’ that will be used against you. They’ll then pressure you to ‘out’ somebody else, rinse repeat.
Just...say...’no, I want an attorney’. Then shut up!
