      Reminder, BY HIS OWN TELLING, Papadopoulos thought involvement in a conspiracy to hack-and-leak w/RU amounted to treason. He wants to blow this plea deal to expose himself to that.https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/1029908309514436608 …

      EXCLUSIVE: Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos says George Papadopoulos should scrap his plea deal with Mueller. They're entertaining the idea of getting new lawyers ahead of sentencing. http://dailycaller.com/2018/08/15/george-papadopoulos-mueller-sentencing/ … via @dailycaller

      this is, frankly, one of the subplots i have the most personal interest in.

      i mean, i don't think it's very important, but i can't think of any particular fact pattern other than, say, witness tampering which would cause someone to back out of maybe a six-months + probation deal when there are maybe a quarter-century worth of other charges on the line.

      mostly just curiosity. i can see the broad outlines of why most everyone else is acting the way they're acting, but this is (ime) sort of weird behavior from a defendant with such a substantial delta between what they might face and what they are facing.

      my suspicion is that that mystery protective order is to keep the Brady disclosures from going to some other people who are still under threat of prosecution.

      It wouldn't be Brady. And Papa isn't on it. It might be call records of Pap violating gag, for example.

          Unusual? Sure. But then 99% of criminal cases don't have this kind of notoriety. Noteworthy here? No clue!

          If they submitted proof Pap violated the agreement they'd want a protective order. Or proof he lied.

          My best guess is they fucked up the deal somehow--probably by outing Stefan Halper to Chuck! among other things--and they're scrambling to find a way to unfuck but there isn't one.

          One of the many crazy train details about Pap considering blowing his plea deal is that FBI recorded his interviews, even though they weren't custodial.

          Perhaps, like Manafort, Papa was trying to keep the jig going even while under close watch. My guess is they caught him breaking the terms of his deal.

          Huh? Papa is on the protective order, and he's entitled to discovery of all evidence the gov't intends to use against him, not just exculpatory material.
