You can always decline to talk to law enforcement, and when you do you aren't normally put under oath. The sentence was just stating the obvious. But it is a crime to lie to the FBI whether you are under oath or not. Ask Martha Stewart.

True, the statements will not be “under oath,” but, as with all such statements,made to the FBI, they will be subject to the False Statements Act, which prohibits and criminalizes any knowingly false statements made to any FBI agent in the course of an investigation. That’s how they got Martha Stewart. It could be how they get the Witch.

The FBI will surely record all statements made for future reference. When time comes to place under oath, they'll be looking for contradictions. These boyz are smart.
