People are assuming there is a plea deal, people with legal experience whoread the signs. But still, there is also the possibility that this is all they could get him on.

There are also things they can "get" Baby Flynn Jr.

The same way it's possible that mobsters who plead guilty to lesser crimes didn't commit murder.

have to testify. He's getting a slap on the wrist because he agreed to tell everything he knows. In the beginning of the investigation, Flynn's lawyers were trying to get a deal for him but the FBI wouldn't bite. The lawyers said Flynn had a very interesting story to tell and that he wanted to tell his story. My guess is that Mueller waited until they had so much on Flynn he'd have agreed to testify against his own mother of it would save his sorry butt.

Having seen so many of these people skate away from their crimes, I'm not quick to believe.

That's the type of confirmation I've been looking for.
