Former Donald Trump campaign official Mike Roman is cooperating with prosecutors from special counsel Jack Smith’s team in the ongoing criminal probe related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

One of the sources said that the agreement, known as a proffer agreement, means that Roman may not have to appear before the grand jury but could instead speak to prosecutors in a more informal setting. Under such an agreement, prosecutors generally agree not to use those statements against them in future criminal proceedings.

Roman, who received a grand jury subpoena months ago and had his phone seized, was involved in efforts to put forward slates of fake Trump electors following the 2020 election.

…. Snip …

The New York Times previously reported that Roman was in talks with prosecutors about a potential proffer agreement.

It appears that Roman and Gouliani are cooperating …

A former campaign official for former President Donald Trump has taken a proffer agreement to cooperate with special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to two sources who spoke with CNN Thursday. Mike Roman, who was involved in Trump’s scheme to institute slates of fake electors in states that current President Joe Biden had won, is now the second known associate of the former commander in chief to take such an agreement, after it was reported his former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had signed one as well. Under such deals, a subject will share information with investigators under the understanding that it will likely not be used against them personally in court.

1. It's like Trump is getting legally prefucked before he gets fucked.

And he seems to have no clue on how fucked he already is.

3. Maybe

If Keri Lake spanks his with a fake mag with him on the cover, he can enjoy the fucking that’s coming. Go Mr Smith!!!! Man of the century. A real one.

2. So much winning...

4. Ghouliani

maybe didn't get his fee paid.

5. I want to know what kind of wheeler-dealing Rudy G and Mark Meadows are doing.

Meadows in particular seems to be laying VERY low. Color me suspicious. AWFULLY suspicious.

[agingdem]

6. I think Meadows knew early on he was fucked

and I think that's the reason the DOJ declined to prosecute on the contempt of Congress charge...insignificant when sedition, treason, obstruction were looming large (I understand Meadows knows a little something about Trump's stolen documents debacle)... as for Rudy, I seem to recall Trump refusing to pay Rudy's bill..that's gotta hurt...

Am I the only one struck by the number of Trump's January 6 inner circle suddenly racing to the DOJ, offering to exchange their testimony for limited immunity?...Trump's January 6 lawyers have to know Trump ain't walking away from this one...

7. No you're not the only one.

There does seem to be quite a lineup all of a sudden.
Seems like decisions are being made. Tell the truth about what happened under these conditions, or …. whatever the choice was Jack Smith offered them.

[calimary]

8. Nope! You're not the only one, agingdem. Like so many rats deserting what they evidently think is

a sinking ship.

Couldn't help noticing that every "defense strategy" trump touches dies, too. And that poor schmuck with him - his "body man" (?) who's been having a hard time finding a lawyer? Well, he could have gotten out of there and sung for his supper, too. There's loyalty and then there's complete blind idiocy. Maybe it's too late for him? Wonder what trump promised him to get him to stick around?

9. They have leverage on Mike Roman

His wife, Adrienne McAllister filed fraudulent bankruptcy four times. MrsPanstreppon on Twitter has the details.
