To date, four people have pleaded guilty to charges brought against them by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and his team. Two were ancillary characters: a businessman who apparently sold bank account numbers to Russian trolls and a lawyer who’d worked with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his longtime partner Rick Gates.
Two were closer to the campaign. One is campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, whose connections to Russia-linked characters helped spur the initial investigation in July 2016 into whether President Trump’s campaign had aided Russian interference efforts. And then there’s Michael Flynn, a campaign aide who wound up as Trump’s national security adviser. Both Papadopoulos and Flynn have apparently agreed to work with Mueller’s team in its investigation, but it’s not clear how much either knew about what the campaign was doing. Flynn’s role was the same on paper as Papadopoulos’s, but he was clearly closer to Trump.
Neither, though, is known to have had intimate familiarity with what the Trump campaign effort looked like. Which makes Friday’s news of an intent by Gates — both a campaign staffer and, before that, a Manafort partner — to cooperate with Mueller potentially very significant.

They are leaking their intentions to the media and the media is reporting it.
Analysis: Mueller is about to take a big step closer to Trump
Pure BS.
If they had something on Trump, we’d of heard of it by now and besides, the guilty pleas from the others have nothing to do with anything Trump did or anything that had to do with his campaign.
Is he gonna send “Sid,the Knife” to backstab the Donald?
Why would anyone share anything by the Bumpus on freerepublic? It has zero connection to reality.
I wonder if Mueller had the job to find the murderer of Seth Rich, would he still be looking?
Q sez that Mueller is on our side, so I trust Mueller completely.
Or the media is ‘making it up’ - - they’ve done that before...
It’s imaginary impeachment bait.
Things have been recently quiet regarding the attempted Obama/Clinton/DNC/FBI/DOJ coup. I hope all hell is about to break lose.
You realize this is fake news, don’t you? Flynn is getting ready to have his guilty plea tossed...and a lawsuit will probably be filed.
I’m surprised they didn’t write....Trump ready to resign.
It’s plead, not pleaded....asshat....
It really blows my mind how they’re still fixated on that one meeting as evidence of “collusion”. Meanwhile, all the evidence that drips out about Hillary and the DNC funding and pushing the Steele dossier gets ignored. The hypocrisy is stunning....as is the chutzpah.
This dog and pony show has to stop. Trump is toying with this clown for a year now and he still hasnt found anything. Indictments for Russian trolls was his biggest coup? LOL
PhXX w/The TRUMP*eter and Ya get the HORN!

Fake News!
Mueller is dirty, IMHO.
Hey Detective - you keep looking at that MSN News site and you’ll go blind!
The Dems are playing for time to delay the day of reckoning that they know is coming.
Mueller has already consumed too much yellow cake.
