Barak Cohen was quoted in The Washington Post article, "Michael Flynn Pleaded Guilty. Now His Supporters Are Trying to Exonerate Him," regarding the plea and the pending sentence. 

“Strictly speaking, a family member doesn’t necessarily implicate the person who has pleaded guilty,” said Barak Cohen, the litigation lead for Perkins Coie. “But prosecutors, for better or worse, are human beings. If they think someone is saying something that undercuts the guilty plea, that could have a negative consequence for the defendant.”
