Special counsel Robert Mueller's office filed its sentencing memo tonight for George Papadopoulos. Prosecutors aren't recommending a specific sentence, but argue that something in the guidelines range of 0-6 months "is appropriate and warranted" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4776…
Govt argues Papadopoulos' lies to investigators "were not only deliberate, but repeated," and warrant incarceration. They also said that around the time he provided false statements in Jan. 2017, he was actively seeking a job in the Trump administration assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4776…
George Papadopoulos' sentencing memo is due Aug. 31. His sentencing is set for Sept. 7.

NEW: The federal judiciary now expects to have enough money from other sources to keep the courts largely business-as-usual during the shutdown through Jan. 18 (previously it was Jan. 11) — this is the latest from the Administrative Office of the US Courts (HT @hsu_spencer)
In order to make the funds that the judiciary does have (absent a congressional appropriation) last as long as possible, "courts have been asked to delay or defer non-mission critical expenses, such as new hires, non-case related travel, and certain contracts"
DOJ, of course, is already affected by the shutdown, so most judges have been approving requests or issuing blanket orders to delay civil litigation involving the federal govt during the shutodwn (criminal cases still have to proceed as usual)

Some fireworks in court this morning as a judge criticized the lawyer representing Concord Management & Consulting in the special counsel Russian troll farm case for his language and harsh words about Mueller's office in filings — "unprofessional, inappropriate, and ineffective"
The judge told attorney Eric Dubelier that his strategy was "ineffective" and that his approach to filings — including pop culture quotes (see: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5676…) and accusing Mueller's office basically of lawlessness — was "undermining your credibility in this courthouse"
"Knock it off," Judge Dabney Friedrich told Dubelier. This then led to a heated exchange where Dubelier said he needed to consult his client since the judge had accused of unprofessional conduct, and now there might be bias from the judge. There's no bias, the judge replied.

Mueller probe sheds more attorneys washingtontimes.com/news/2018/oct/… via @washtimes
Special counsel Robert Mueller is shedding more attorneys, another sign that his team of prosecutors has begun winding down parts of their investigation.
Two prosecutors detailed to the Russia investigation for the past year are returning to their duties in other parts of the DOJ. They join two other attorneys who left the team, assigned to investigate potential ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, over the summer.

‘Manafort’s emails are a special case, Mueller’s team argued in a court motion Wednesday. Attorney-client privilege doesn’t apply when the client enlists a lawyer’s help to commit a crime — and that’s what Mueller’s team is arguing that Manafort did.’ politico.com/story/2018/08/…
Sam Patten pleads guilty today. He worked with Manafort on Ukrainian campaigns and in countries Russia, Georgia, Iraq and Kazakhstan. He worked at the State Department under George W. Bush, and worked on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Sam Patten headed the Moscow office of the International Republican Institute in the early 2000s. A Russian IRI employee then, ‘Konstantin Kilimnik, went on to work as a fixer for Manafort in Ukraine and is a business partner with Patten.’ Kilimnik is indicted for obstruction.
