Papadopoulos' sentencing memo, in short: I did not tell the govt I told the campaign about emails. I did not tell the govt I told the campaign about emails. I did not tell the govt I told the campaign about emails. Even tho I told everyone else. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/01/young-george-wants-mercy-and-compassion-from-trump-for-something-he-believes-is-treason/ …

If he is still not telling the truth then the offense is still ongoing because he agreed to come clean and he has not done so.
-
No. That would be a different offense. Also, note he said he could not recall when he lied about it later. That's harder to charge as a lie.
-
Fair enough. Then it's a new offense committed by Papadopoulos and if that's the case then the Special Counsel wouldn't be recommending just 6 months unless he's a chump.

What new offense?
-
According to you, "That would be a different offense" if Papadopoulos continued to lie after agreeing to cooperate with the SC.
-
"note he said he could not recall when he lied about it later."
-
Right. You are accusing Papadopoulos of committing a new offense after agreeing to cooperate. And in your telling, Mr Mueller recommended just 6 mo despite knowing Papadopoulos had failed to keep his end of the bargain. That's crazy. Mueller would make an example out of him.
