Special counsel Robert Mueller recommended no prison time for Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn who, in 2017, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and on his lobbying disclosure forms.
Mueller’s team argued in a sentencing memo filed on Dec. 4 that Flynn cooperated with the federal government in multiple investigations and deserved “a sentence at the low end of the guideline range—including a sentence that does not impose a term of incarceration.” The guideline range pertinent to Flynn was zero to six months of imprisonment.
