Special counsel Robert Mueller's team is poised to make public a sentencing memo about former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort by Friday, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr told Yahoo News on Monday.
Mueller is also set to release memos about former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen this week, which are all likely to provide greater insight into the inner workings of the special counsel's probe into possible ties between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
Prosecutors on Mueller's team have been telling defense lawyers that they are "tying up loose ends" in the investigation, which has been going on for more than a year, Yahoo News reported.
Carr declined to comment to The Hill.
Some have speculated that Mueller would keep Manafort's memo under seal in order to avoid the public disclosure of additional crimes that Mueller believes Manafort committed.
But Carr told Yahoo News that Manafort's memo will be released publicly, though some parts might be redacted.
The government last week accused Manafort in court filings of breaching his plea deal, saying he committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsels Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement. Manaforts defense attorneys denied the allegation.
A Northern Virginia jury over the summer convicted Manafort of eight counts of bank and tax fraud. Manafort then agreed to plead guilty to two felony charges and cooperate with Mueller's investigation.
Cohen last week pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the Trump Organization's efforts to build a skyscraper in Russia, an element of Mueller's investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign. Cohen said that he had discussed the matter with Trump farther into 2016 than he initially told Congress.
Cohen over the summer also pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, claiming that he violated campaign law at the direction of a federal candidate who later became president.
Flynn pleaded guilty last December to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and also agreed to cooperate with Mueller's investigation.
You are very right and Corsi along with many, many others are going to draw and quarter Mueller in spectacular fashion. You got understand Corsi’s background and who he has worked for then it will all make sense to you.
She has a face that can sink a 1000 ships. Yeeeck!!
Nothing of any significance will happen.....
If Mike Dukakis had a son...
“Jeff Sessions will go down in post American history as the most monumental rat bastard traitor that ever lived.”
Unfortunately, he will have plenty of company. To name a few.....mccain, flake, etc. etc. etc.
That usually means killing people.
Friday release = minimal news coverage = signal that this memo has nothing important in it or is bad for Mueller’s team and he wants it to be ignored and forgotten
The big picture is straightfoward, the rats and deep state committed 4th amendment violations and harnessed national security apparatus for political purposes. That's bad. Not treason or anything close. The people who say that are completely missing the point. The only possible win is reform and that will have to be bipartisan right now. If the rats don't want reform then that's on hold. No reform, other people say, means civil war.
No, it doesn't. It means Trump continues MAGA and wipes out the resist and obstruct party in 2020. That part is simple, he needs to show that bipartisan reform is needed and one side refused to go along.
It’s a massive conspiracy of high treason you foggy bottom troll. And if Trump can’t/won’t bring these POS to justice, the people will. Then the swamp will be drained permanently once and for all.
I don’t believe prosecutors are allowed to accuse people of crimes without securing an indictment by a Grand Jury.
If an indictment is sought and refused, that’s supposed to be a secret. If an indictment is not sought, because of insufficient evidence, that’s supposed to be a secret as well.
We are living in revolutionary times.
It’s Pat!!!
It's bad, I'll grant you that. But actual justice requires lengthy investigations, evidence gathering etc. You apparently want to skip right to the hangings. Tha's banana republic stuff.
Wake me when the frog marches start, tick tock!
Something to scare the hell out of the Democrats and other traitors :
Now that this method of investigation has been established as well and good to use against Trump, THE VERY SAME NITPICKING ANAL PROBING methodology will be applied to Hillary whose crimes DO exist (and by extension Obama for the coverup, and EVERYONE attached to them in the slightest way)
Assisting Treason is Treason
Covering up Treason is Treason
Whole new prisons (bring back hard labor) will be needed for the ones not HUNG for their High Treason (or its conspiracy) against the People of the United States.
Any Republicans or other party wankers who are also part of it should be found out and charged and prosecuted as well.
:)
I think it is because they are playing 3D chess or is it 4D chess, or there is a plan we are supposed to trust, or something.
The arrests have started amongst several of the field operatives. Big ones to follow very soon.
A nothing burger.
I see no evidence of that.
