Mueller Recommends No Prison Time for Flynn

Special counsel Robert Mueller on Tuesday called for a sentence as low as no time in jail for Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor to President Trump, CNBC reports.

The sentencing document says Flynn “has assisted with several ongoing investigations, including its probe of coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.” He took part in 19 separate interviews.

Among the matters on which Flynn has provided assistance to the government is an unknown criminal investigation, apparently separate from the collusion probe.

However, most of the details of Flynn’s cooperation with the special counsel’s office were blacked out in the memo.

Marcy Wheeler: “The section on cooperation describes Flynn’s assistance in three investigations. The Mueller investigation is actually the second thing listed, which I take to suggest that the the Mueller investigation is just the second most important.”
