Mueller asks for September sentencing for Papadopoulos
The Hill ^ | 06/23/18 | John Bowden

Posted on 06/23/2018 12:13:18 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Robert Mueller's office of the special counsel has asked a judge for a September 7 sentencing hearing for former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.

Politico reports that Mueller's attorneys asked U.S. District Court Judge Randy Moss to set Papadopoulos’ sentencing for Sept. 7 or a date in October if the judge cannot grant the first date.

Papadopoulos, who served as a foreign policy adviser for the Trump campaign and last year plead guilty of lying to FBI agents about his contacts with pro-Russian sources during the 2016 election. He is one of three Trump associates, the others being businessman Rick Gates and former national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn, to plead guilty to making false statements.

The former Trump campaign aide was arrested last July and has been out on bond since pleading guilty.

President Trump sought to distance himself from the aide after he pleaded guilty, describing Papadopoulos as a low-level volunteer with few real responsibilities. Papadopoulos and his fiancee have pushed back on that assertion.

"Few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar. Check the DEMS!" Trump tweeted in October.

The New York Times reported last year that Papadopoulos sparked the Russia investigation that would eventually be headed by Mueller after he drunkenly bragged to an Australian diplomat that the Russians had damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton before the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee's emails became publicly known.

Australian government officials then tipped off the FBI to the aide's remarks, which later evolved into the now year-long special counsel probe that has dominated headlines during Trump's presidency.

We may find out that pleading guilty to lying is the only lie he committed.

Ok. Perhaps sentencing for Comey and McCabe can be done as well.

Intended to set a trap for the Donald before mid-terms. "Go ahead, Trump, pardon him. See what happens." The Manafort trap didn't work because The Donald knows PM was a deep state plant.

Plants need water.

This case should have been dismissed already and the Prosecutor found in CONTEMPT and Jailed for “perpetrating a fraud upon the Court”. see IG Report.

As anyone noticed how Mueller has lined up the storyline so that all the sh*t hits the fans just before midterm elections?

Mueller will not quit and Trump will not stop him. This is the most devastating part of Trump Presidency.

I have no doubt that Papadopolis was a mole. He’ll get fined and no more. Arresting him was just another way to provide protection for him. Such a farce.

The story they keep repeating is all fake. He wasn’t drunk. He didn’t talk about the emails. They used spycraft techniques on him, including money for a small job to lure him to England.

I read his only false statement was that he got the date of a meeting wrong.

“Papadopoulos, who served as a foreign policy adviser for the Trump campaign...”

This guy was a nothing. Trump didn’t even know he existed.

Lots of repeated claims.

They really had to pad that one.
