TODAY w @rachelweinerwp U.S. prosecutors say they could change their recommendation that former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn be sentenced to probation, not prison, depending on his role in next week’s trial of his former business partner. washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
NOW Michael Flynn's attorneys tell his sentencing judge there is "no basis" to increase Flynn's punishment based on his testimony, if any, in next week's Alexandria trial of his former business partner, Bijan Rafiekian. 
"Regardless of who might call Mr. Flynn as a witness, his testimony remains consistent with his grand jury testimony—which the government used to obtain the Rafiekian indictment. Furthermore, the government has already acknowledged Mr. Flynn’s substantial assistance," they said
Defense attorneys Jesse R. Binnall and Sidney Powell add ominously but vaguely, while they "are not yet near a position to brief the court on the significant issues we are uncovering," they have "identified crucial and troubling issues that should concern any court."
