Patten's Cooperation With Feds Stays Secret As Inaugural Probe Heats Up

[ffr]

The D.C. lobbyist who pleaded guilty in August in a prosecution linked to special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s Russia probe will have the details of his case remain under wraps, after prosecutors added yet another mystery filing to the docket.

D.C. federal prosecutors filed a joint status report in Patten’s case under seal Monday, after doing the same in a surprise New Year’s Eve move.

While Patten’s case is being prosecuted by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., and not by Mueller’s team, prosecutors from the Mueller investigation attended Patten’s plea hearing.

The lobbyist does not have a sentencing date set in his case yet. Prosecutors usually wait until an investigation is completed to sentence a cooperator. - TPM

BRING IT

2. It sure is hard to keep up with this--

Who is connected to whom, what they did- when they lied.

[Lock him up.]

3. Manafort - Kilimnik $$$ Inauguration

As part of his guilty plea, Patten admitted that he laundered a $50,000 contribution from Kilimnik to the Trump inauguration committee, by having the money transferred from a Cypriot bank to his company & from there to an unnamed American who sent it to the committee.

5. The Big Picture that emerges is...

republicans sold-out and betrayed America, and American democracy. They have been lying steadily ever thereafter, and (under the auspices of Dirty Donny, their republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief) they continue to submissively wallow on their scabby republican knees for russia and saudi arabia.

republicans = deplorable traitors
