Here's the Papadopoulos sentencing memo. documentcloud.org/documents/4776…
His wife comes into it.
The FBI interviewed Joseph Mifsud in Washington, DC three weeks after Trump's inauguration.
well, located* -- I guess the interview is only implied.
The sentencing memo says that Papadopoulos slowed the investigation by keeping the FBI--until at least several months later in 2017--from looking into the flow of the key info about the Russians having "dirt on Clinton."
the prosecutors also say Papadopoulos wasn't very helpful after his arrest
Papadopoulos seems lucky he's skating with 0-6 months. Remember the Special Counsel gave up a more serious charge--destruction of evidence--in his plea deal.
WHAT??

This also needs context. More people are harmed by a federal government shutdown than federal employees. Native American communities, in particular, are immediately adversely affected. As the shutdown continues, the harms expand and multiply throughout the country’s population.
There are businesses that rely on the federal government as a customer—contractors of all sorts and sizes—and as a landlord—e.g. vendors at national parks. People who own and work for those businesses are harmed by the interruption of their income.
Scientists missing their grant funds, journalists who can’t access public records, inventors who can’t get their patents, entrepreneurs who can’t get business licenses ... This bit of context is, in all likelihood, barely scratching the surface of harms flowing from the shutdown.

The wording: “these occurrences happened during a period when Mr. Manafort was managing a U.S. presidential campaign”
Maloni’s ‘clarification’ would harmonize this Madrid trip to meet Kilimnik with one referred to in another filing from the Special Counsel, though; on October 31, 2017, they wrote Manafort had been to Madrid ”within the last year.” cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2017/image…
But, if Maloni is correct, it leaves open a rather large question: why would Manafort be sharing 2016 polling data with Kilimnik 2-3 months *after* the election (when, if you don’t work for Nate Silver, it’s of extremely limited use)?

You can copy the black highlighted “redactions” in the Manafort team’s filing, paste it somewhere else, and see what it says. Here’s the first one. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
The sentence @jonswaine reported is in the second redaction.
A few follow-ups for the completists among you.
-The Manafort team refiled its document to fix the redactions.
-The court has ordered the govt to file the "factual and evidentiary basis" of the five breaches it alleges next Monday 1/14; Manafort will have until 1/18 to reply

(Thread) The Mueller Cohen sentencing memo
documentcloud.org/documents/5453…
Mueller (OSC) was kinder to Cohen than SDNY.

Cohen's looking at 6 months for lying; OSC says he provided valuable info and could serve his sentence concurrently with the SDNY sentence, which makes it disappear.
1/ Cohen went to "significant lengths” to assist OSC.
The “information he has provided has been credible and consistent with other evidence obtained in the SCO’s ongoing investigation."

Mueller is confident he knows when people are lying; so he must have the whole story.
2/ “Cohen provided the SCO with useful information concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation.”

Core to the investigation=Trump Russia.

Where did Cohen get the info? from “regular contacts with Company executives during the campaign.”

Some initial thoughts on the Mueller/Cohen memo, it is irrelevant that another Russian reached out to him about getting a Trump Moscow Tower built when he was already working with Russians to try to get it built, also that's not illegal. Also he turned him down lol. Weak stuff
"Second, Cohen provided the SCO with useful information concerning discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact with company executives during the campaign"

This is about the Trump Tower Don JR meeting no doubt. Lame
Comey got fired in May, 2017. Mueller probably asked him to talk to him about obstruction blah blah blah what he heard from people in the White House about it blah blah blah

This is so ridiculous and nothing. A bunch of legal activity being used to try to jam people up again.

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

Here's Rick Gates' now-unsealed motion to file an exhibit under seal. "The exhibit involves highly sensitive matters concerning" Gates, his lawyers wrote. The judge ordered him to file a redacted version, so we should be getting that at some point assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4368…
Rick Gates' lawyers are due in court at 10:30am for a sealed hearing on their motion to withdraw as his counsel. The exhibit that explains the reasons for that request to withdraw remains under seal.
There are a couple things going on: Rick Gates' lawyers want to withdraw. We don't know why -- the reasons are under seal. In notifying the court that they served Gates with that motion, they included an exhibit, which Gates asked to be filed under seal -- in a sealed motion 1/2
