WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller’s sentencing memorandum for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was not publicly available late Friday, suggesting the document may still be under seal.

Mueller’s team was to have weighed in by the end of the day on Manafort’s punishment in one of his two criminal cases. But the memo was not publicly filed by midnight Friday, an indication that the document includes sensitive information and that prosecutors are seeking a judge’s approval to redact, or black out, that material.

4. I think Barr is preventing it from being released. Every other time it was released by the deadline

5. But there have been developments this time, notably Manafort lying thinking he can outsmart FBI

I think the article is almost certainly straight on and that Barr has nothing to do with this.

Undoubtedly the specifics of the lies involve Individual 1 or aspects of the ongoing investigation or foreign intelligence or all three.

7. this isn't something muehler needs to run past barr.....

It's a routine filing and nothing that rises to the level of needing ag consult on. The sc guidelines don't require it.

Further, if Barr injects himself, he is required to notify congress of any actions he takes.

So probably not.

6. The holdup isn't something sinister,

the court is working on redacting the classified information and didn't get finished by the deadline.
