The potential sentence is zero to five years? imprisonment. Assuming Flynn cooperates fully with Mueller?s investigators, there will little, if any, jail time. Obviously, it was wrong of Flynn to give the FBI false information; he could, after all, have simply refused to speak with the agents in the first place. That said, as I argued early this year, it remains unclear why the Obama Justice Department chose to investigate Flynn. There was nothing wrong with the incoming national-security adviser?s having meetings with foreign counterparts or discussing such matters as the sanctions in those meetings. Plus, if the FBI had FISA recordings of Flynn?s conversations with Kislyak, there was no need to ask Flynn what the conversations entailed.
