Former D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown’s September sentencing for bank fraud and campaign finance violations has been delayed until November so that Brown can keep cooperating with federal investigators, the AP reports. (Cooperate on what, though? The City Paper’s Loose Lips has some thoughts.)

Additionally, Mayor Vince Gray’s former campaign aide Howard Brooks’ own cooperation with the feds in their ongoing investigation of Gray’s 2010 campaign could earn him a lighter sentence than original expected, according to court documents filed today and published by the Post.

Brooks pleaded guilty in May for lying to federal investigators over his role in the campaign’s scandals; he was the man that paid minor candidate Sulaimon Brown to attack Mayor Adrian Fenty during debates. While Brooks could have served six months in jail, today prosecutors said that his “substantial assistance to the government” should earn him supervised probation when he is sentenced.

Finally, in related news, Post columnist Colby King said in a recent interview that he thinks the next round of indictments could come in October:

LAMB: When do you expect the next shoe to drop?

KING: I think it will be before the middle of October. I think get these conventions out of the way. If you go back and look earlier at what happened in the year, the U.S. attorney held off to (a now) primary in April so that nothing that he did could be seen or construed as interfering with the local election. But after the primary, in May and June, boom, boom, boom; he started.
