Sullivan also walked back his treason questions. "I'm not suggesting" Flynn committed treason, Sullivan now said.
"I was just trying to determine the benefit and the generosity of the government," he said. "Don't read too much into the questions I ask."
Van Grack said Mueller's team has "no concern" or no reason to think Flynn committed treason.

Yes, but he also issued a stinging rebuke to Flynn, which was the entire point.
Do let's have you try and keep up better, hmmm?
His statement still stands: “All along, you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. That undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably you sold your country out.".
