“Conspiracy against the United States”

[Witchit]

That’s what Rick Gates plead guilty to.

Gates is scheduled to appear before a federal judge Friday to face reduced charges of conspiracy against the United States and lying to federal agents, according to a new court filing.

The potential for a guilty plea could dramatically change the dynamics in the investigation, just one day after special counsel Robert Mueller added a raft of new financial and tax charges to the criminal case against Gates and his longtime colleague, Paul Manafort.

The following looks like what they used to break him down:

The first round of charges contained 12 counts: conspiracy against the United States; conspiracy to launder money; serving as an unregistered agent of a foreign principal; false and misleading Foreign Agents Registration Act statements; false statements; and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts. Both charges from the first indictment in Washington and the second round of charges filed Thursday in Virginia center around Manafort and Gates’ past lobbying and financial activities and are not related to their work directly for the Trump campaign.

And it worked. He broke.

Robert Mueller, Republican hero. He’s doing some amazing work.

As hard as Gates tried, he couldn't outdo Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in their conspiring against the US, and their aiding and abetting the enemies of this country.

Neither of them have ever been charged with conspiracy against the United States. Paul Manafort has been so charged. Rick Gates has been so charged. I’d have to go back and check what Mike Flynn was charged with.

It really is quite unusual that so many people have one degree of separation from Trump, and they have been either charged and plead not guilty, or charged and plead guilty.

flynn was ultimately charged with lying to a fed because he didn't disclose on his security form that he was a lobbyist for a foreign government & never registered per the law, in exchange for flipping & 'immunity' & may only serve 6 moths if all the juicy tidbits he gave up pans out. mueller has so far held off with getting him sentenced.

None of these charges have anything to do with "collusion". Are we all playing dumb now and pretending that politicians from both sides of the aisle don't use their connections to make money? Maxine waters made millions working in congress, why isn't she under investigation?

You’re the first person to bring up collusion. Are you under the mistaken impression that you get to dictate what happens in the politics folder?

From the first post, second quote, last sentence.

“and are not related to their work directly for the Trump campaign.”

Would I have included that if I was trying to prove collusion? No, I would not.

Collusion is what Mueller is supposed to be investigating. Instead, he's just digging up whatever dirt he can find on Trump associates.

Russian interference is nothing new, they just expanded into social media.
People who choose their political ideology can be set at an early age, by family values.
Look at how the left has tried to change the nation's ideology into a social democracy.
It hasn't worked.
You can't force people into an ideology because of propaganda.

Interesting attempt at change of subject, but that’s not what we’re actually discussing here.

Do you have anything to discuss about the original post? It’s like you’re sprinkling right wing nut job fairy dust all over my thread.
