Contreras told the former Marine general that prosecutors will request less punishment than sentencing guidelines recommend “if and only if” he provides substantial assistance “in the prosecution of another person.”
Court documents released after the hearing say prosecutors anticipate a prison sentence of between 0 and 6 months and a fine of between $500 and $9,500.

“Yes, I did see Donald Trump on that grassy knoll in Dallas ...”
There was no collusion. that is the truth.
Mueller may truly be looking at Shrillary.
I’m starting to think that the FBI has too much authority.
I think that flynn is a socialist-democrat plant.
I would fight this tooth an nail. This flynn guy just rolled over and was way too cooperative in this witch hunt.
The Logan Act makes it criminal for any unauthorized citizen to negotiate with any foreign power against the interests of the USA.
When Flynn did so, Trump had been elected but not sworn in. That’s the kicker.
Then, Flynn lied to the FBI about those contacts, another crime.
Additionally, Flynn was not registered as a foreign agent, and that’s against the law also, to negotiate on behalf of a foreign power.
The FBI did wiretap a few calls between Flynn and the Russians but there was only very minimal incrimination.
But, Kislyak and other Russians were reporting back to Russia, contacts of a much more substantial nature that were clear violations of the Logan Act, that happened before Trump was sworn in.
So, the FBI figured out that Flynn was meeting with the Russians in person to avoid FBI eavesdropping, that’s what Flynn lied about. Instead of about 4 conversations with the Russians, there were about 30, mostly face to face, no records.
In fact, the Russians agreed to change their tactics at the UN because of an agreement with Flynn and his Trump contacts, before Trump was sworn in, that’s against the law, the Logan Act.
Additionally, Flynn was not registered as a foreign agent, and that’s against the law also, to negotiate on behalf of a foreign power.
Whomever, on the Trump transition team was Flynn’s handler is in big, big trouble. If Trump was told about any of these goings on before he was sworn in, he was obligated to tell the Justice Dept./FBI.
If not, that’s conspiracy and/or obstruction of justice. It may seem petty, because if they had waited just a couple of weeks, all these contacts would have been completely legal.
seriously...this is the opposite of obstruction of justice- its almost like he’s saying manufacture evidence...
I’d rather pay a $9,500 fine than have Hillary send her goons after me. And I don’t have a whole lot of spare cash rolling around, like he does.
I don’t see this as much of a threat.
He now needs to cooperate with prosecutors? So after all this time & money this army has spent investigating, all they have found is this one Flynn lie & now he needs to cooperate so more investigation can continue?
I don’t think any Judge actually used these words. There are codes for cooperating. Sometimes it remains silent. Never heard of a Judge revealing the Prosecutions strategy. This is another leak.
“that’s against the law, the Logan Act.”
THE LOGAN ACT?!?! You’re a funny man...
Oh wait, you’re serious?? You’re still a funny man, but in a different way.
That's some good stuff.
IS *ANYONE* INVESTIGATING *ANY* DEMOCRATS??? FOR *ANYTHING*????
You are just starting to think these things?
Michael Thomas Flynn is a retired United States Army Lieutenant General, not a former Marine general. MORONS!
Yes, and that another person is someone in the Obama administration where he worked. He had privy to lots of illegal stuff before the 2016 campaign. Uranium One? Who knows?
Logan shmogan, he is being pressured for perjury.
And remember when Trump had all those classified Documents on his private email server? In his bathroom?
And remember when those classified documents ended up on the laptop of a sex pervert who was sexting with underage girls?
And remember when Trump gave $500 million in cash to Iran?
And remember when trump sold guns to Mexican drug cartels and got one of our border agents killed?
Remember when Trump did all that? oh wait.. that was HilLIARy... never mind.
Flynn was Army. Try to get the basics right.
Both Clapper and Brennan lied under oath to Congress. They said...whoops...sorry...and no one said boo.
Drives me nuts!!
