"The maximum penalty for making a false statement is five years in prison, though both sides said Flynn would face a recommended sentence of up to six months in prison under federal guidelines."

12. He better sing like Pavarotti!

[DonViejo]

18. All contingent upon his cooperation with and fulfilling his agreement with Mueller...

The judge is under no obligation to go along with the recommendations of any side, let alone both sides

[itsrobert]

3. I think it is UP to 6 months

[DonViejo]

5. It's up to five years. Today, the judge told Flynn...

his sentence would be determined by how well he cooperated with Mueller.

[Tipperary]

4. I have yet to hear that from any reliable source. Do you have a link?

All I have heard so far is that his crime is punishable by 5 years.

[Cattledog]

11. That's if you don't co-operate.

[SamKnause]

6. He will not spend a day in jail.

[marylandblue]

8. Only if he takes down everyone including Trump

13. Good deal!

9. Maybe the Russians will offer a trade for Flynn. nt

10. The plea deal is for a recommendation that he be sentenced within the sentencing

guidelines (without upward or downward deviation). As is true with every other recommendation in exchange for a plea deal, the court is not obligated to follow it.

The range is from 0 months - 5 years, with a maximum of 3 years supervised release; a fine large enough to pay for imprisonment/release. Based on a complex system of points - if everything pans out in his record, the recommended sentencing for the level of the crime he is admitting to, with his background, is 0-6 months with a fine from $500 - $9500.

14. Exactly how Judge Sirica got the Watergate burglars...

to flip; he ignored the recommendations of both sides and threw heavy sentences at them.

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Thank you.

And if Flynn screws up,all bets are off.

[Ms. Toad]

17. Yes - it is extremely well written.

If Flynn breaches the agreement, everything he says can be used to prosecute him and - in the mean time, he has waived the right to have counsel present while he is singing.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. Just so we know,

K T McFarland was Flynns employee, Just heard this on Maddow. So,the noose tightens.

16. Mueller will tell Flynn to take a shit

and Flynn will ask Muller, what time shall I take that shit? Which corner of the room do you want me to take that shit? What color would you like that shit? What consistency? And I will be happy to clean up that shit and disinfect that area where I took that shit Mr Mueller.

Otherwise Flynn will serve a lot more than six months.

19. Did Trump know last week?
