quote:

An FBI sex sting has snared a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, who is now accused of trying to meet a 14-year-old girl at a hotel after the two talked online.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports 47-year-old Air Force Lt. Col. Willie Newson was arrested Tuesday at a Marietta hotel on charges of child exploitation. Authorities say Newson was trying to meet up with a teen he met on a dating app. But the teen was really an undercover officer.

Mattis Erupts Over Niger Inquiry and Army Revisits Who Is to Blame

quote:

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was livid last month when he summoned top military officials to a video conference at the Pentagon to press them about an investigation into a 2017 ambush in Niger that killed four Americans on a Green Beret team. His anger, Pentagon officials said, came from seeing news reports that junior officers were being reprimanded for the botched Niger mission while the officers directly above them were not.

Days later, a senior officer who had largely escaped punishment was told he would be reprimanded. Another senior officer’s actions before and around the time of the mission were also under new scrutiny.

And this week, Capt. Michael Perozeni, a more junior officer who had received much of the public blame for the mission received word from the Army: His reprimand was rescinded.

Cohen Sentencing Letter posted:

To be clear, neither the SCO nor this Office is making a motion under U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1.
No such motion is being made because, as detailed herein, Cohen repeatedly declined to provide full information about the scope of any additional criminal conduct in which he may have engaged
or had knowledge. However, this Office acknowledges and agrees that Cohen’s provision of
information to the SCO in connection with its investigation is a mitigating factor that the Court
should consider in imposing sentence. Indeed, Cohen’s provision of information to the SCO is the
reason that this Office is not seeking a Guidelines sentence here, but rather is acknowledging that
a modest variance is appropriate.

While Cohen’s provision of information to the SCO merits credit, his description of his
actions as arising solely from some “personal resolve” – as opposed to arising from the pendency
of criminal charges and the desire for leniency – ignores that Cohen first reached out to meet with
the SCO at a time when he knew he was under imminent threat of indictment in this District. As
such, any suggestion by Cohen that his meetings with law enforcement reflect a selfless and
unprompted about-face are overstated.

With respect to Cohen’s provision of information to this Office, in its two meetings with him, this Office assessed Cohen to be forthright and credible, and the information he provided was
largely consistent with other evidence gathered. Had Cohen actually cooperated, it could have been fruitful: He did provide what could have been useful information about matters relating to
ongoing investigations being carried out by this Office. But as Cohen partially acknowledges, it
was his decision not to pursue full cooperation, and his professed willingness to continue to provide information at some later unspecified time is of limited value to this Office, both because he is
under no obligation to do so, and because the Office’s inability to fully vet his criminal history and
reliability impact his utility as a witness.

Indeed, his proffer sessions with the SCO aside, Cohen only met with the Office about the
participation of others in the campaign finance crimes to which Cohen had already pleaded guilty.

Cohen specifically declined to be debriefed on other uncharged criminal conduct, if any, in his
past.

Cohen further declined to meet with the Office about other areas of investigative interest.
As the Court is undoubtedly aware, in order to successfully cooperate with this Office, witnesses must undergo full debriefings that encompass their entire criminal history, as well as any and all
information they possess about crimes committed by both themselves and others. This process permits the Office to fully assess the candor, culpability, and complications attendant to any potential cooperator, and results in cooperating witnesses who, having accepted full responsibility for any and all misconduct, are credible to law enforcement and, hopefully, to judges and juries.

Cohen affirmatively chose not to pursue this process. Cohen’s efforts thus fell well short of
cooperation, as that term is properly used in this District.

For this reason, Cohen is not being offered a cooperation agreement or a 5K1.1 letter.

Cohen is probably going to prison for around four years.

Cohen has also been bullshitting how much he has been cooperating. Mueller's office thought he gave some good information, but there was never an official agreement between the two sides *and* Cohen lied to Mueller at least once (repeating his lie to Congress).

Flynn fully cooperated and got a 5K letter, which is basically a "Please Mr/Mrs Federal Judge, discount his time please". Cohen didn't fully cooperate and got the equivalent of a "Meh." letter from Mueller's office.
