George Papadopoulos' lawyers jst filed a one paragraph request to delay his surrender date until the court rules on his motion to continue his bail while a challenge to Mueller's appointment is pending — he's due to report to the Bureau of Prisons on Monday, 11/26
For background on what's happening with Papadopoulos, here's this thread from @chrisgeidner last week:
The special counsel's office is due to respond to Papadopoulos' motion to continue his bail while the Mueller challenge is pending by 11am this morning. The motion filed this morning is basically just in case the judge doesn't rule on the bail continuation motion before Monday
Special counsel Mueller's office is, unsurprisingly, opposed to George Papadopoulos' motion to delay his prison surrender date (which his Monday) assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5218…
Prosecutors wrote that although Papadopoulos admitted lying to the FBI, after his sentencing hearing "he made a variety of public statements that appear to be inconsistent with his stated acceptance of responsibility" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5218…
Special counsel's office argues Papadopoulos had plenty of time to bring a challenge to Mueller's appointment, and the fact that someone else is doing it elsewhere is not a reason to upend a case where he got a "favorable" deal and that's pretty much over assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5218…
There's also some footnote action of note from the special counsel's office, re: Papadopoulos' tweets after he was sentenced to two weeks in prison (see: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…)
What's next? The judge didn't include an opportunity for Papadopoulos to file a reply to the government's response to his request to delay his surrender date in the briefing schedule, so now we're just waiting on an order
