Of course these plea deals are contingent on the continued cooperation of the individual. If that is not forth coming you can be sure the charges will be upgraded.

That's what the McCarthy article said. Flynn's cooperation will be used to develop charges against others in the administration. And that "upgraded" charges against Flynn or others in the administration are highly unlikely, given that such charges were not cited in Flynn's plea bargain.
McCarthy, based on his experience as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is saying that it is doubtful that Mueller has the evidence to prove collusion against anyone, and is going for the lying charges against anyone he can.
