President Trump's former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December during the presidential transition, bringing the special counsel's investigation into the president's inner circle.
Mr. Flynn, who appeared in federal court in Washington, acknowledged that he was cooperating with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into Russian interference in the 2016 election. His plea agreement suggests that Mr. Flynn provided information to prosecutors, which may help advance the inquiry.

Yeah, there are soooo many things wrong with this law. People make mistakes, people misremember, and under pressure sometimes people lie. The FBI loves to use this to entrap people.
What's worse is, afaik, you are not allowed to make your own recording of an FBI interview. So there's actually nothing stopping them from lying about what you said.
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.

Doesn't matter if you record them. They're absolutely allowed to lie to you.
