The first time I was interviewed by the FBI (during their visit to my company at the time...we were an international company, with some sensitive products and some products which could be misused), I met with them by myself. No one else was present.
My outside lawyers were besides themselves. They could not believe that.
But, I was innocent, and I was doing my patriotic duty to help the FBI.
I not only believed that, but my belief was correct.
Nonetheless, they told me to never, never, never, never do that again.
Not one of them has since told me, "No biggie. Just don't lie."
