Former Trump aide George Papadopoulos must report to prison on Monday as scheduled.

In a ruling Sunday, a federal judge rejected Papadopoulos's two requests for an "eleventh-hour stay."

"[T]he court agrees with the special counsel that Papadopoulos has failed to carry his burden of demonstrating that a delay in the execution of his sentence is warranted and will, accordingly, deny both motions," U.S. District Court Judge Randy Moss said.

Papadopoulos' sentence from the same judge came in September after he pleaded guilty in October 2017 to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Russians. Papadopoulos was also sentenced to a year of supervised release and 200 hours of community service, and will pay a $9,500 fine.

Last week, Papadopoulos’s legal team requested a two-week delay pending the outcome of a separate case challenging the constitutionality of special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment. They said in a filing earlier this month that outcome of the case brought against Mueller by Andrew Miller, an associate of longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone, could “directly impact the validity of Mr. Papadopoulos’ prosecution of conviction.”

If they prove Stupid Bobby is an invalid, George is going to walk away with hundreds of millions in taxpayers cash just like other prosecutions Stupid Bobby bungled in the past where his victims got huge cash awards as compensation.

This challenge has been tried before and failed.  Most notably, it was addressed in the T. S. Ellis ruling, before the Manafort trial.  If he wouldn’t see the argument, it’s unlikely any other judges will.
