Former Trump aide Rick Gates to plead guilty; agrees to testify against Manafort, sources say

[Hutch Starskey]

He's testifying against Manafort.

Hmmm.

He was Manafort's deputy, dope.

 

[JimH52]

Donnie is probably in Manafort's ear now...."Remember....I have pardon power....Paul."

All while the FBI monitors his phone calls...

 

[DrLove]

I don't know much about Gates - but I almost feel sorry for him. However, I don't feel the least bit sorry for anyone in the Trump family. None!

From the OP:

Gates, 45, who is married with four children, does not appear to be well positioned financially to sustain a high-powered legal defense.

"He can't afford to pay it,'' said one lawyer who is involved with the investigation. "If you go to trial on this, that's $1 million to $1.5 million. Maybe more, if you need experts'' to appear as witnesses.

Yep, Pauly Manafort made a bunch more laundering money through Deutsche Bank than poor Rick or even Lil Jared.

Singin' like lil birds (or Trump-Turds) he be!

WTF? Could this BE? and Just WOW!

Former Gov. New Jersey Fats (and Our great New Kinda Drug Czar) Spews on the Great Douche 2016.



FYI.. The Video spewing by Fatboy in text.

"For the first time," says Chris Christie, yesterday's indictment gives the American people "a real picture into the scope of at least part of the operation that was obviously meant to disparage and and damage Hillary Clinton."

OH NOOOOOOES!!!
Jersey Fats Turns?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Manafort's "crime" was committed eight years ago.

Great. It will be leverage to get him to spill what he knows.

Why did Trump hire so many people with access to and a history with shady Russian enterprises? Extreme vetting?

LOL... Just gotta love this. He's wanting to get far away.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Yeah, it seems Manafort lied to the court about his assets, and is facing more charges.

Has nothing to do with Trump.

Has nothing to do with Trump.

Until he realizes there's no way around twenty years in prison that is.

A former top aide to Donald Trump's presidential campaign will plead guilty to fraud-related charges within days – and has made clear to prosecutors that he would testify against Paul J. Manafort Jr., the lawyer-lobbyist who once managed the campaign.

The change of heart by Trump's former deputy campaign manager, Richard W. Gates III, who had pleaded not guilty after being indicted in October on charges similar to Manafort's, was described in interviews by people familiar with the case.

"Rick Gates is going to change his plea to guilty,'' said a person with direct knowledge of the new developments, adding that the revised plea will be presented in federal court in Washington "within the next few days.''

That individual and others who discussed the matter spoke on condition of anonymity, citing a judge's gag order restricting comments about the case to the news media or public.

I've heard various experts say over the past few weeks that Gates was in a position to know a lot of stuff. Trump should probably be a little more worried. We'll see...

/——-/ And Muller has Judas betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. News at 11.

Manafort's "crime" was committed eight years ago.

Why are you always such an idiot?

12 counts, including conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy against the United States, being an unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements and other charges. READ the full indictment here.

Yep. They came at Manafort hard and heavy knowing that he's the money guy.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

How many threads do we have to have on this. AND Gates had jack shit to do with the campaign and is charged on ancient supposed crimes that the Podesta Group committed but of course are not indicted on.

Who actually did work for the campaign? Anyone?

I should recall my son.

I'm sure the Money Laundering at the Golden Douche Shower Tower in NY, DOES!

All ownerships in Douche Towers around the world is Money Laundering for the most part.

Paul Manafort's Trump Tower condo becomes the latest sticking point for prosecutors

btw:
"In 1980, Manafort, Charles Black, and Roger Stone (all Ronald Reagan campaign officials) opened a lobbying shop in Washington, D.C. One of their very first clients: Donald Trump, who employed the lobbying firm of Black, Manafort & Stone through the early 1990s."

Plus, both men have mutual close friends, including Barrack and Stone, whom Manafort and Trump have been close with for decades. Both Manafort and Trump were active in the New Jersey political scene in the 1980s, and later, both men were involved in lobbying Capitol Hill on American Indian gaming issues.Since 2006, Manafort has owned a condo in Trump Tower in Manhattan, and around the same time, became involved in the Manhattan real estate scene.

As described here,
Donald Trump's SuperPACs used loopholes in a Supreme Court FEC ruling from this past year to try and accuse Hillary Clinton of getting illegal campaign contributions, despite the fact that Trump and his campaign literally took advantage of the same process that Hillary's campaign did.

I also heard some experts talking today that Mueller won't likely be offering any plea deals to anyone in the Trump family. Meantime, Mueller is picking the low-hanging fruit - before he cuts down the tree.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Does anyone feel sorry for Trump about what's coming?

awright, the cartoons are back

Every one of you dopes is a cartoon in this thread. Not a one of you has posted anything more than crass nonsense.
