      Gotta wonder if there is some self interest on her part. I mean has her participation with the professor been fully explain?

      yeah, she may have done something Extremely Unwise by remaining in contact with Mifsud.

      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.

          Am I the only person optimistic enough to think that Papadop & Simona could be doing all this as cooperating witnesses? You know, like tricking dumbass employees of a Deripaska-funded propaganda rag into revealing their sources to a dude wearing a wire?

          This is not an implausible interpretation: the September 7th sentencing date indicates that he isn't a valuable enough witness that he's anticipated to testify at any upcoming trial.

          My feeling is that a EP staffer with an extremely unclear background who went to work for Joseph Mifsud probably has some things in her history which would expose her to scrutiny in the US or elsewhere.

          I don't mean she's definitely a spy or even probably a spy, but I can imagine that the fact that her last employment was with someone whom everyone appears to believe is a Russian intelligence asset has resulted in unfriendly encounters with both local and foreign intel services.

          And what is the basis of your agreement to the protective order Mr. Breen? "Well, your honor, you know, I have an idiot for a client...."
