Rick Gates, a former top official in President Trump’s campaign, is expected to plead guilty Friday to charges brought by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in his investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and cooperate with prosecutors, according to a person familiar with the situation.

It's been reported that Rick Gates does not have the $1.5M plus to defend himself and why he has decided to cooperate with Mueller. If Paul Manafort's fortune is all smoke and mirrors, or if the money is from ill begotten gains, he may soon follow suit. There is just too much dirt there to keep hidden.

When will the actual Russians who corrupted our election be identified and brought to justice?

WASHINGTON ― Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was indicted yet again last week and accused of paying off European politicians to lobby on behalf of pro-Russian interests in Ukraine.

A Feb. 16 superseding indictment unsealed on Friday alleges that Manafort retained a group of “former senior European politicians” to take positions favorable to Ukraine, even though their activities were intended to look independent. Manafort allegedly used “at least four offshore accounts to wire more than 2 million euros to pay the group of former politicians,” according to the indictment.

The indictment was unsealed after Manafort’s former business partner Rick Gates reached a deal with the special counsel’s team, pleading guilty to two crimes and agreeing to cooperate.

Mueller has had a very busy week. MAGA - Mueller Ain't Going Anywhere

Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) implicated in the brewing Manafort/Gates brouhaha. Good deal. He's a traitorous scumbag of the highest order.

It's Friday evening. Time's up. Why has Kelly not yet yanked Jared's access to our national secrets?

For the same reason he didn't yank Rob Porter's. Anyone with the even a scintilla of competence floats to the top of the cesspool of this White House.
