Former national security advisor Michael Flynn's guilty plea of lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russia's ambassador during last year's presidential transition caused a ruckus in the United States as special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation inches closer to President Donald Trump.

"Is this crime worthy of the...
