Buckle Up: Next Week Is Going to Be a Busy One for Robert Mueller
The news of Paul Manafort’s compounded legal woes and Michael Cohen‘s guilty plea to lying shifted the news cycle into overdrive this week, but the consequences will continue to be felt into next week.
Manafort and Cohen aren’t the only cases on special counsel Robert Mueller‘s plate either. Keep an eye on President Donald Trump’s Twitter feed on Monday because on Tuesday, Dec. 4, there will be a sentencing memorandum for former national security advisor Michael Flynn. Flynn has yet to be sentenced for lying to investigators.
The special counsel has pushed back the Flynn’s sentencing multiple times “due to the status” of the investigation. By September 2018, Mueller announced that Flynn was ready to be sentenced. The sentencing memorandum is scheduled to drop a couple of weeks in advance of Flynn’s Dec. 18 sentencing.
Early prognostications on Michael Cohen’s sentencing memo is that this will go public by Dec. 5, since he scheduled to be sentenced a week later, on Dec. 12.
Next up on the list is Mueller’s side of the Paul Manafort story. Mueller accused Manafort on Monday of lying repeatedly to FBI investigators, effectively blowing up the cooperation agreement the two sides agreed to in September.
