Disgusting.

[americas.best.days...]

“Top official”

[gov_bean_ counter]

Seems to me that Mueller is using the fake Russia investigation to settle old scores from his days at the FBI.

[babble-on]

What was Trump thinking hiring these corrupt baboons? Where did the names even come up?

RE:”According to a criminal information — a document filed with the permission of the defendant which traditionally signals that person plans to plead guilty — Gates conspired to defraud the United States regarding the money he and his business partner Paul Manafort earned, and lied to the FBI in a Feb. 1, 2018 interview about a 2013 meeting between Manafort, a lobbyist, and a congressman.”

Nothing to do with the 2016 election.

Since it has nothing to do with the election then it doesnt justify Mueller being a special prosecutor.

Fishing expedition.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Only a fool would plead guilty to anything Mueller came up with after seeing the Nunes FISA memo.

[NormsRevenge]

Trump sure did have a lot of top officials,, but then, Obammy had a lot of WH visits by Islamofascist groups.. like anyone cared then.. or that he meddled in foreign elections with a passion. I guess that Nobel thingy gave him a free pass..

2013. NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP.

[Lagmeister]

I keep posting this... but Sessions needs to come out with some indictments against members of the coup. This is the only way to head things off. Right now, with Trump's approval rating, is the perfect time. Why wait for a stupid stink bomb?

No matter how vague or tangential, believe me, something will come up against the Trump family. What the hell are we waiting for?

[Maris Crane]

I’m still wondering whether all of Mueller’s accusations, indictments and threats, having been born from THAT FISA authorization, will be thrown out eventually.

And, in the wake of that happening, can Mr. Special Prosecutor expect to be sued. Or is that wishful thinking on my part. I want to believe that Mueller is just spinning his broken wheels.

[MAexile]

If I’ve learned only one thing from watching this circus over the last year it’s this.

Don’t ever talk to the FBI without the aid of counsel.

[OrioleFan]

Mueller will next get someone to plead guilty of taking several paperclips home from the office.

" lied about a 2013 meeting"

And yet the opening of the story tries very hard to tie this - via innuendo - to the Trump campaign.

[Chewbarkah]

Which Congressman was supposedly in this 2013 meeting? Is Mueller going to blackmail him?

[MayflowerMadam]

Was Gates really a “top official”? Never heard of the guy.

But the headline reflects negatively on Trump, so there you have it. Fake news?

[Cboldt]

Formal documents are linked from Robert Mueller just flipped his third former Trump aide

Feb 23, 2018 Superceding Information

[Intolerant in NJ]

Former Trump campaign official Rick Gates plans to plead guilty to 2 charges...yeah, that's how it's being headlined on local Philly TV news too - not a word about the fact that the charges have nothing to do with Trump, his campaign or administration......

[fortheDeclaration]

Nothing to do with Trump.

[trebb]

...filed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

Hmmm - they used the "III" at the end of his name...don't see that too often.

[katykelly]

It looks like Mueller has dropped the charges against Gates .
