Flynn publicly admitted his guilt under oath at a court hearing in December 2017 and reconfirmed those statements a year later at another court session.
In his guilty plea, Flynn admitted lying to FBI agents about his dealings with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition and making false statements about Trump transition officials’ lobbying on a United Nations resolution condemning Israel. Flynn also acknowledged that he signed Foreign Agent Registration Act filings that contained false statements about his work on a lobbying and advocacy project related to Turkey.
Prosecutors had urged the judge to impose a sentence in a range between no jail time and up to six months behind bars.
DOJ petitioning to drop charges is a mere afterthought for an upside but a lingering matter for Barr, Pence and Trump (who fired Flynn) for lying to Pence (hmmm, seems the General lies often)
