Prosecutors Back Away from Prison for Michael Flynn

Prosecutors have appeared to back away from their recommendation that former national security adviser Michael Flynn serve up to six months in prison, saying in court filings that probation remained a “reasonable sentence” that they would not oppose, the Washington Post reports.

The judge decides the sentence. Mikey was going to be sentenced last year and the judge told him he was a traitor and he should consider going back and cooperating a little more before he got his just reward.

So now Mikey has yanked his guilty plea and cooperated less. I wouldn't be surprised if this judge ignores the prosecutors recommendation and throws the book at him.

We shall see.
