Mueller in a sentencing memo said Flynn’s “substantial assistance” to his probe warrants a light criminal sentence — which could include no jail time for the retired Army lieutentant general.

That assistance, which includes 19 interviews with Mueller’s team and Justice Department attorneys, related to a previsouly unknown “criminal investigation,” as well as to Mueller’s long-running probe of the Trump campaign’s and transition team’s links or coordination with the Russian government.

“The defendant provided firsthand information about the content and context of interactions between the transition team and Russian government officials,” the memo says.

Mueller’s memo almost completely blacks out details of what Flynn might have said.

OF COURSE WE KNEW THIS – PURE EVIL: Dirty Cop Robert Mueller Destroys General Flynn – Nearly Bankrupts Him – And Then Calls for Lenient Sentence, No Jail Time https://t.co/qtlWEXUSyU via @gatewaypundit

Media, Dems, Obama, Intel Community operatives dragged reputation of a decorated general through the mud. A sophisticated info op meant to ruin his life & attack POTUS. They hit Flynn w/ “Logan Act,” “collusion,” even treason allegations. All shameful BS.https://t.co/2Cv17sAB1e

Local collusion conspiracy theorist receives reality of Mueller zero jail time recommendation for Gen. Flynn, after shouting from rooftops for over a yr that he colluded, committed treason, etc. How does he square that circle? Trump or bust, it appears.https://t.co/9Hhr4kuWWQ

Robert Mueller’s filing about Michael Flynn reveals that he would not have been in trouble had it not been for the @washingtonpost‘s report that Flynn spoke with the Russian ambassador, which it could only have known through an illegal leak of unjustified government surveillance.

Thus the basis for the Russia collusion investigation was, in fact, collusion between the outgoing Obama administration, the intelligence services, and the anti-Trump media. Conveniently, that allowed Mueller to “turn” Flynn, who may not have lied about Russia in the first place.

Flynn’s apparent deceptions about Turkey are more serious and provide good reason for him not to have been National Security Advisor. Still, the way he was spied on, unmasked (by whom, we do not yet know), victimized by an illegal leak, prosecuted, and turned is stomach-churning.
