Flynn was led to believe he was having a casual discussion and to throw around some BS. He was never told it was an official investigation, and furthermore it was advised by Comey he didn't need a lawyer present for that reason.
Now the judge in the case wants to see all records of this untold investigation and what was said.
Here's a clue...don't lie to the FBI.
But everyone in Trump's orbit DID.'
Odd huh?
Odd, none of those “lies” have anything to do with Russia collusion. You can lie to an FBI agent all you want provided it’s not an official investigation or interview.

Ray, Flynn knows better than to lie to the FBI, he was the head of a segment of our National Security for a while, he just had a brain fart... so to say.... he knew the FBI was investigating Russia and their influence, he also knew about the dossier which implied that the Trump campaign was meeting with the Russians constantly, because that came out a few weeks before he was interviewed, he certainly could put two and two together and know the FBI was investigating it all...
and he was told he could get a lawyer if he wanted one, but he didn't cuz he thought it was just a friendly conversation.... and it could have been a friendly conversation if he hadn't lied about his contact with the Russian Ambassador....
A lie, that he didn't have to tell about his contact with the Ambassador... he could have said he was discussing the sanctions on Russia, and during the transition period, it would have been understandable...
BUT HE CHOSE TO LIE ABOUT IT, and any sane person would have to ask, WHY DID HE LIE about it, unless he was trying to HIDE something nefarious, and lead the FBI down a wrong path???
It was a lie directly related to the FBI's Russia investigation.
There is indication that he NEVER lied at all, which was according to Comey who TOLD the Congress, which was long before he was fired.
General Flynn’s Vindication Approaches : 18 December is Day One

How General Flynn’s Truth Became an FBI "Lie"
The Mueller plea deal with General Flynn, filed on 1 December, 2017, is explicit : it says that on 24 January 2017, Flynn lied to the FBI (Strzok) by saying that he had not talked with Ambassador Kislyak about possible sanctions relief, when in fact he had.
However, there is a complication. Prior to 1 December, 2017, Strzok and the other FBI agent had said the opposite - that Flynn had told them the truth. Even James Comey has admitted the same, to Congress. In other words, the General was open with the FBI that he had been communicating with Kislyak about possible sanctions relief, a normal and legal act by an NSA for an incoming administration.
So how does General Flynn telling the truth on 24 January, 2017 become him lying to the FBI on 1 December, 2017? Simple : the ‘facts’ underlying the communications were changed.
Someone, almost certainly Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, re-wrote the original late January 2017 FD 302, to falsely portray General Flynn as saying that he had not spoken with ambassador Kislyak. When was the 302 altered? Footnote 23 (my bold) of last night’s memorandum provides the answer:
