Just what I was thinking. Not illegal to lie to the FBI unless there's some special rule around national security. It's illegal to lie under oath or in a sworn declaration.
Pretty sure that only applies to local and state law enforcement. I am almost certain that making false statements to the FBI is a different animal. You don't have to be under oath to be prosecuted.
Of course, there is no evidence Flynn LIED to them in the first place. All we know is they interviewed him.

It's illegal to knowingly make false statements to the FBI. No need to be under oath.

From Wikipedia:
Making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United States federal crime laid out in Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which generally prohibits knowingly and willfully making false or fraudulent statements, or concealing information, in "any matter within the jurisdiction" of the federal government of the United States, even by mere denial[clarification needed].[1] A number of notable people have been convicted under the section, including Martha Stewart,[2] Rod Blagojevich,[3] Scooter Libby,[4] Bernard Madoff,[5] and Jeffrey Skilling.[6]
This statute is used in many contexts. Most commonly, prosecutors use this statute to reach cover-up crimes such as perjury, false declarations, and obstruction of justice and government fraud cases.[7]
So I stand corrected.

If he was interviewed by the FBI a month ago and no charges were filed yet he probably didnt lie nor do anything wrong.
FBI is sllllloooooooowwwwww. And DOJ ultimately decides on charges.
I am sure trump invited sessions into his office and said - don't prosecute.

That doesn't happen. DOJ is a separate organ rightly divining Justice.
