Mueller memo says Michael Flynn has provided 'substantial assistance,' recommends lenient sentence
Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed a memorandum Tuesday recommending a lenient sentence -- with the possibility of no prison time -- for convicted former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and stating that Flynn has offered "substantial" help to 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. Flynn sat for 19 interviews, according to the sentencing memorandum and a heavily redacted supplemental filing.
