To help bolster their plea for 'no time', Flynn's attorneys also pointed out that Flynn was never told by agents that lying to the FBI was a crime.
Given his long background in national security and intelligence, Flynn was surely aware of that fact, in my opinion. His attorneys are building as strong a case as they can to keep Flynn out of prison.
Flynn is scheduled for sentencing next Tuesday, 12/18, in U.S. District Court in Washington for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials during his time as a campaign adviser to Donald Trump.
Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, recommended no jail time for Flynn in a filing last week. Mueller highlighted Flynn's full cooperation and his past service to the country in the recommendation letter.
It will be up to to DC Federal judge whether to invoke the recommendations by Flynn's attorneys and Mueller or instead issue a harsher sentence.
