POLITICO previously reported that lying to the FBI carries a maximum of five years in prison and a fine up to $250,000, but defendants usually get less than the maximum. Judge Sullivan, a Clinton-appointee, is not bound by Flynn's plea agreement which signaled a sentence between zero and six months in custody. Generally you'd get more than this for treason.
