In exchange for Schaffer’s cooperation, the government was considering giving up its effort to keep Schaffer in jail while his case is pending and instead allow him to go free until he is sentenced. “Based on these debrief interviews, the parties are currently engaged in good-faith plea negotiations, including discussions about the possibility of entering into a cooperation plea agreement aimed at resolving the matter short of indictment,” Baset wrote. Baset wrote that because Schaffer was the first case to involve plea talks, the terms of any agreement “required extensive review and approval at various levels of government necessitating more time than usual to approve and negotiate.” The government asked the judge to suspend deadlines in the case for another two weeks “to provide additional time to exhaust all avenues of negotiation.”]
