A sentencing memo for one of Mayor Vince Gray’s campaign associates bring up the question: what’s next in the investigation into Gray’s 2010 mayoral campaign?

Former D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown’s sentencing has been put off from September to November, while former Vince Gray campaign confidante Howard Brooks may get a lighter sentence than originally expected.

As expected, a campaign aide to Mayor Vince Gray pleaded guilty today to lying to federal investigators about his role in a scheme to pay fringe mayoral candidate Sulaimon Brown to stay in the 2010 race and attack Mayor Adrian Fenty.

Amid depressing news of two federal indictments of campaign aides to Mayor Vince Gray this week, at least one person has a sense of humor, albeit a dark one.

The day after an assistant campaign treasurer to Mayor Vince Gray’s 2010 campaign pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, another aide has been charged for making false statements to federal investigators.

We all know that federal prosecutors are still looking into Mayor Vince Gray’s 2010 campaign, notably claims that campaign staffers paid fellow candidate Sulaimon Brown to attack Adrian Fenty and that they illegally accepted cash contributions and turned them into money orders.
