Leave the incriminating part out, you do not have to answer their questions unless you are talking to a Fed. Even then you have a right to legal representation before answering anything.
The 5th applies to all who may want to question you: Feds, State, County, local, ...... I don't know where you got the idea that you have to answer a Fed's questions.
I need to be more clear I guess. As I understand it, you do not have to answer the questions of city, county, state police, for any reason. You can even lie to them and it is not a crime, ..........
Law enforcement can lie to you as part of their interrogation tactic, however, it is unlawful to lie to them.
I watched the video and thought it very interesting. I will lean on the 5th A. until I talk to my/a lawyer.
60 Minutes had a report about 6 to 8 months ago about the best police interrogators, guys/gals that get the confessions. Here are a few things that I remember from it:
1. The interrogator will be sympathetic.
2. The interrogator will tell you they can't help you if you won't talk to them.
3. They only want to help you, if you would only talk to them.
4. Will place you in an uncomfortable sitituation, ie, bad chair, lighting, no bathroom breaks, no food or water for hours.
5. They wil feed off the fear the interviewee has.
One of the officers interviewed said something to the effect that he was surprised at how many people talk and don't keep their mouths shut.

Do they really try that crap you see in the movies? Questioning people in those little rooms?
The police aren't there to be your friend. It doesn't mean they are bad people, they are just doing what they were trained to do.
it may behoove one to have something ready like this: "I believed my life was in imminent danger and I was unable to to escape. I defended myself and I'm not in a condition to speak with the police until I have an attorney present."
You can leave out THAT part, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled that you have absolutely no duty to retreat from a threat.
