Michael Flynn's heavily redacted sentencing memo shows Mueller could drop more bombshells

pecial counsel Robert Mueller's glowing performance review of star witness and former national security advisor Michael Flynn suggests there are more shoes to drop in the ongoing probe of Russian election interference.

In a heavily redacted court document filed Tuesday night ahead of Flynn's Dec. 18 sentencing in Washington, D.C. federal court, Mueller recommended a light sentence — possibly so light as to include no jail time at all — for President Donald Trump's ex-senior official and campaign surrogate.

Mueller said in that sentencing memo that Flynn, 60, had provided "firsthand insight" over the course of 19 interviews with special counsel investigators and Justice Department attorneys, and that his benefits to their work "may not be fully realized" until the investigations are finished.

The court filing reveals that Flynn's cooperation extended beyond the probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and possible coordination between Trump campaign-related figures and the Kremlin.
