    We learned of Papadopoulos' plea 3 months after he started bidding for one (after Mueller already decided he wasn't really cooperating). We learned of Patten's 3 months after his proffer. I think these prospective deals are reflecting past cooperation.

        My cynical paranoid side worry is that what we’re seeing is an awful lot of soft landings being arranged for people in return for testimony against defendants who will never come to trial owing to the classified nature of sources, means and methods.

        I've been worried about this too, an over-arching greymail strategy. Perhaps @emptywheel has written about this.

        I'm very much not worried about it. I think that's one reason Mueller has bracketed off the two RU indictments, and I think that's one point of getting people to flip.

        Exactly, Mueller’s team is at least 3 months and most likely more ahead of the daily news cycle. Whatever becomes public, indictments or plea deals are made public when there is no danger of compromising investigation. Impressive team, just want more indictments to drop soon!

        Yup - we are seeing THE END of their cooperation, not the start.
