Michael Flynn Provided ‘Substantial’ Information for Mueller Probe. This Is His Recommended Sentence.
By Townhall. In a memo released Tuesday, Robert Mueller recommended a lenient sentence, with no jail time, for former national security advisor Michael Flynn because of the “substantial” help he’s provided investigators.
“Given the defendant’s substantial assistance and other considerations set forth below, a sentence at the low end of the guideline range, including a sentence that does not impose a term of incarceration – is appropriate and warranted,” the memo states, Fox News reported. . .
The memo doesn’t provide any insights into what Flynn told Mueller. It did, however, note that Flynn provided “communications and documents” about his time in the Trump administration.
