Who is Rick Gates? Charged by Mueller

Owns/ works for a political consultant group...basically a bunch of lawyers.
It looks like they primarily work for Democrats in the U.S. and a number of socialist dictators.
Perhaps this has nothing to do with Trump at all???

Charged with laundering mone
Saw he was charged but I've never heard of him.

Where did you see that? The fake news? :badgrin:
Yup, CNN

Oh, then it's not true. Don't worry about it goofball
It certainly seals the deal on collusion huh?

Derp

You are totally wasting your time thinking you can have any reasonable conversation with Closed Minded

From what I have heard this stuff seems to be all stuff that happened before the 2016 election.

yep...I am reading the same thing, at this point, which is very early of course, it has nothing to do with the election - and zero to do, in any way, with Russian collusion.
 
In an indictment unsealed Monday morning, Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his partner Rick Gates were hit with 12 counts alleging a wide-ranging money laundering conspiracy and multiple violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

The indictment charges that Manafort “represented falsely that he did not have authority over any foreign bank accounts,” although he allegedly moved $75 million through offshore accounts, $18 million of which the indictment says benefited him personally. In a complicated tax dodge, Manafort “laundered the money through scores of United States and foreign corporations, partnerships and bank accounts,” depriving the U.S. of tax revenue, according to the indictment.

The money in question allegedly came from Ukraine, specifically from the Party of Regions, the Russia-backed party of former prime minister Victor Yanukovych, who paid Manafort to lobby American politicians on behalf of his administration. The complaint alleges that Manafort, who was not registered as a foreign agent, took steps to “develop a false and misleading cover story” that would conceal his work for the Party of Regions in order to distance himself from the Government of Ukraine.
