You may consult with your lawyer, but you may not be represented by him. Your lawyer will not be part of the proceedings. Normally this is not a problem, unless ...... You can plead the fifth, but only if you refuse to answer all questions. Once you start answering questions about a subject, you have waived your fifth amendment rights. And saying more than your name, rank, and serial number will probably be considered as answering questions on the subject. Your other points are true as far as I can tell.
