They are NOT satisfied with his cooperation and are asking for 0-6 months in jail>>>>

MUELLER took the unusual step of calling out Papadopoulos' wife, @simonamangiante -- who isn't accused of any wrongdoing -- in his sentencing brief, for her statements to media.
@simonamangiante NOTABLE: Mueller says Papadopoulos' alleged lies prevented them from questioning the professor who told him about "dirt" on Clinton when he briefly traveled to the US in early 2017. politico.com/story/2018/08/…
I asked SIMONA if she was at least somewhat relieved that prosecutors recommended a 0-6 month sentence. Her response:
"Not at all. I think they should have rewarded his cooperation with probation."
"Not at all. I think they should have rewarded his cooperation with probation."
THE LATEST: Mueller says he may never know why Papadopoulos lied in Jan. 2017 about his contacts with a Russia-linked professor. Papadopoulos' wife says prosecutors should have given him more credit for cooperating: politico.com/story/2018/08/…
