The US Attorneys’ objection to the request by Cohen for a two-week delay in processing the materials captured in the raid is significant--b/c this isn’t just about taxi medallions. It’s about Trump-Russia collusion. #mueller #michaelcohen tinyurl.com/y7e8jpll
1/ The Mueller Team & the feds in NY and DC have a timeline, and they want to get moving on it. Mueller will not be interested in a proffer or plea agreement negotiations until he has seen the materials taken in the raid. (And lawyers for Cohen know that.) #mueller #michaelcohen
2/ The government is showing its hand here. It wants to get Cohen to flip SOON. That in itself is important, but it’s also important for getting Manafort to flip (who is resisting). #mueller #michaelcohen
3/ I think the Mark Warner timeline is about right. Expect all the big shoes to drop in the next couple of months, i.e., before Sept 3 (Labor Day). #mueller #michaelcohen
4/ Some dates to consider when thinking about Mueller’s likely timeline for aiming at flipping Cohen and Manafort.
Virginia trial of Manafort scheduled to begin July 24.
DC trial of Manafort scheduled to begin Sept 17.
Virginia trial of Manafort scheduled to begin July 24.
DC trial of Manafort scheduled to begin Sept 17.
5/ Most plea agreements are made before or at the very latest by the time of the jury selection process. (Defendants are required to appear in court at that time.)
Jury selection proceedings (voir dire) occur at least one week before the beginning of trial.
