That is a minimum of one month in jail.

To even GET to that very small punishment, you have to go thru what I just wrote above that you seemingly didn't want to post even though you looked up the law and it was right there with the penalty.
In a year from now, nothing will have happened, Flynn will be working on K-street for 1 mil a year or as a security consultant for a private firm for even more money. Trump will still be president and you all will still be wondering how. Plus don't forget to held in contempt of congress takes a full majority vote from BOTH houses, not just the small committee that issued the subpoena. That isn't going to happen either so all of this is moot anyway, but in the unlikely even they did vote that way. Then the above goes into motion and once again, nothing happens.
