Mueller already has your signed statements, which cannot be revoked.
He no longer needs your testimony.
And when you go to trial, it all becomes public information.
The OSC has filed a pleading with the court saying Papadopoulos never cooperated and should be sentenced according to sentencing guidelines for someone who did not cooperate.
Unless, I’m missing something, there is no deal.
Withdrawing a guilty plea is a different matter, very difficult to do and always up to the judge. Even if Mueller agreed to not oppose the withdrawal (fat chance), it’s still up to the judge. Federal judges do not enjoy the reputation of setting aside guilty pleas every time someone reconsiders.
She’s a Russian Agent and they don’t want him cooperating with Mueller.
I am certain she is whispering in his ear that Trump will pardon him if he clams up and withdraws his plea.
By talking him into withdrawing his guilty plea, she gets his case put back on the docket and delayed, delayed, delayed while they go through the Kabuki Theater of pre-trial motions and pleas and preparing an actual trial against him.
She also gets a good change of having him locked up awaiting trial where he can be easily wacked by a Russian stooge in jail.
Papadopoulos’ wife seems to think he can just wave a wand and go back to square one. It doesn’t usually work like that. If he has already entered his guilty plea he does not have an absolute right to withdraw it. He has to show a “fair and just reason” acceptable to the court, which he probably cannot do.
It could be that the Papadopoulos’s are looking to the future. If George is considered a TRAITOR to the conservative cause then he can kiss good-bye to any lucrative post-administration job at a right-wing think tank or as a FOX news commentator.
MUELLER RENEGED on the get OUT OF jail FREE card ONLY because he lied WHILE queen for the day. IT’s illegal FOR QUEENS to lie? Also JUDGE didn"T say whether or not he knew he was PLEADING guilty. WITch hunt!!11!
