Excerpts from Patten's statement of the offense, describing both the inauguration tickets scheme and Patten lying to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about it.
Although he was prosecuted by the US Attorney in DC and DOJ's National Security Division, Samuel Patten's plea agreement expressly includes his agreement to cooperate with the Mueller investigation too.
For posterity, here are today's principal documents on W. Samuel Patten.

Information: documentcloud.org/documents/4806…

Statement of the Offense: documentcloud.org/documents/4806…

Plea Agreement: documentcloud.org/documents/4806…
The Special Counsel's Office took a very active role in Patten's case, signing a proffer agreement with him in May of this year and agreeing to be bound by the plea agreement today. Worth pondering: Why refer it out for the plea?
interesting technical feature of this plea: There are no sentencing guidelines for a FARA violation, and Patten and the govt agree that there's nothing comparable... so he'll be going into sentencing more uncertain than most cooperators as to what he'll get up to the 5y maximum.
