Strong reluctance to talk to a government agent about a brandishing incident (which 98% are) which has not been reported to the police (in most instances) and the victim almost certainly doesn't know is 100% legal. If the President will lie so will his lowest level hirelings. Remember they call you, so they know who's possible confession they are recording. I would not tell them the truth about a questionable instance under any circumstances. They survived, they "got away" with it, why confess now?
