In a sentencing memorandum released on December 4, 2018, the Mueller investigation stated Flynn "deserves credit for accepting responsibility in a timely fashion and substantially assisting the government" and should receive little or no jail time.[136]

There is far more to the content of the memorandum than that, and it obsoletes much of the other discussion on the page of what Flynn did, which looks like a whitewash at this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jibal (talk • contribs)

One might consider the name of Flynn's current attorney to be important information as well; Sidney Powell

Even though he holds a Republican Party office.

“ Flynn joined the Sarasota GOP executive committee in a surge of new members that included a local Proud Boy and other far right individuals.”

@Yohannanx: Update to party affiliation made. Billmckern (talk) 16:43, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was recently added a few months ago. Is this what the subject is most notable for? Does this belong in the lead sentence? Do reliable sources say that is what he is most notable for? Malerooster (talk) 00:45, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source for when his party affiliation changed? I think even though he was a registered Democrat, he stated in 2016 he didn't consider himself aligned with that party, and served under a Republican administration. It's misleading to just present him as a Democrat until 2022, and what is the reference for this? Andre🚐 22:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

do others agree this content should be excluded?

Media Matters reported in January 2024 that days earlier Flynn had appeared in-studio with Alex Jones to say, "I told Alex a couple of years ago when we met that I had first seen him in 2008 and 2009. I said, 'That guy's absolutely right on the money.'" Jones asserted that government-aligned groups are "going to stage false flags — unless we expose them and stop them — to blame us and trigger this. And they're going to make moves that they believe will elicit a civil war. This isn't coming. It's here. They are going to try this." Flynn responded:

I don't raise my voice that much, but when I do, it means that we are moving to — as Alex just said — we're moving towards the sound of the guns here, folks. And the sound of the guns is freedom. We are going to move towards freedom.

It's quite relevant, properly sourced, and I have restored it. It is very relevant to document that he has called for violent insurrection. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
