All of Robert Mueller’s indictments and plea deals in the Russia investigation

1) George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, was arrested in July 2017 and pleaded guilty in October 2017 to making false statements to the FBI. He got a 14-day sentence.

2) Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, was indicted on a total of 25 different counts by Mueller’s team, related mainly to his past work for Ukrainian politicians and his finances. He had two trials scheduled, and the first ended in a conviction on eight counts of financial crimes. To avert the second trial, Manafort struck a plea deal with Mueller in September 2018 (though Mueller’s team said in November that he breached that agreement by lying to them). He was sentenced to a combined seven and a half years in prison.

3) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But in February 2018 he agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statements charge and one conspiracy charge. He was sentenced to 45 days in prison and 3 years of probation.

4) Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements to the FBI.

5-20) 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

21) Richard Pinedo: This California man pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and has agreed to cooperate with Mueller. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and 6 months of home detention in October 2018.

22) Alex van der Zwaan: This London lawyer pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates and another unnamed person based in Ukraine. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and has completed his sentence.

23) Konstantin Kilimnik: This longtime business associate of Manafort and Gates, who’s currently based in Russia, was charged alongside Manafort with attempting to obstruct justice by tampering with witnesses in Manafort’s pending case last year.
24-35) 12 Russian GRU officers: These officers of Russia’s military intelligence service were charged with crimes related to the hacking and leaking of leading Democrats’ emails in 2016.

36) Michael Cohen: In August 2018, Trump’s former lawyer pleaded guilty to 8 counts — tax and bank charges, related to his finances and taxi business, and campaign finance violations — related to hush money payments to women who alleged affairs with Donald Trump, as part of a separate investigation in New York (that Mueller had handed off). But in November, he made a plea deal with Mueller too, for lying to Congress about efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

37) Roger Stone: In January 2019, Mueller indicted longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone on 7 counts. He accused Stone of lying to the House Intelligence Committee about his efforts to get in touch with WikiLeaks during the campaign, and tampering with a witness who could have debunked his story. He was convicted on all counts after a November 2019 trial.

Finally, there is one other person Mueller initially investigated, but handed over to others in the Justice Department to charge: Sam Patten. This Republican operative and lobbyist pleaded guilty to not registering as a foreign agent with his work for Ukrainian political bigwigs, and agreed to cooperate with the government.

The real question is, when is Maddow's Neo-McCarthyism going to stop being profitable for MSNBC?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Roughly 0.5 million people learned that Maddow had spent years propagandizing. Maybe she's just desperate to regain those high numbers by flogging another outrage de jour.

About the 2.5 million remaining viewers though, they didn't learn a thing from the Mueller report about her hyping RUSSIA!!RUSSIA!!RUSSIA!! on the basis of anonymous, unevidenced claims.

I tracked down these Gries quotes to the scribd record of proceedings, and added this section from that reference-1kiki:
An analysis of Maddow’s statement by Stefan Th. Gries, Ph.D.—a linguistics professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara—further demonstrates that Maddow’s statement was not opinion. Professor Gries conducted a thorough analysis of Maddow’s segment, identifying and analyzing linguistic markers (including words, tone, and cadence) used by Maddow. His report is attached to his concurrently filed declaration. Professor Gries concludes that an average viewer likely would not
have understood Maddow’s statement to be opinion. This is confirmed by the fact that, despite knowing how to do so, Maddow did not use any typical opinion-markers when she stated that OAN “really literally is paid Russian propaganda.

Moreover, Maddow’s statement implied other false, undisclosed facts. Defendants’ argument that Maddow disclosed all the facts—i.e., The Daily Beast article—underlying her defamatory statement is incorrect. Maddow did not merely tell her millions of viewers that, as reported by The Daily Beast, a single OAN employee also wrote articles on global finance for Sputnik News. Instead, Maddow went well beyond that, intentionally leading her viewers to believe (falsely) that there was far more to the story—that there was a real and significant connection between the news reported on OAN and the Russian government. This implication was false and per se harmful to OAN. https://www.scribd.com/document/438562850/PLAINTIFF-HERRING-NETWORKS-I
