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 whod 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 Trumps campaign had aided Russian interference efforts. And then theres Michael Flynn, a campaign aide who wound up as Trumps national security adviser. Both Papadopoulos and Flynn have apparently agreed to work with Muellers team in its investigation, but its not clear how much either knew about what the campaign was doing. Flynns role was the same on paper as Papadopouloss, 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 Fridays news of an intent by Gates both a campaign staffer and, before that, a Manafort partner to cooperate with Mueller potentially very significant.

yep, waste of time and money.
Let’s see....
Shotgun Bob indicts all of Russia for being...Russian
The Persecution of Paul Manafort for being a registered Republican continues, with all who can think being horrified and aghast at the shocking abuse being heaped on him by a crooked, partisan thug who is showing a nation why he never should have had an ounce of legal power
Not one Rat Party operative has so much as had his name brought up by Our Hero Bob and His Merry Band of Inquisitors
Disgusting that anyone thinks our ancestors fought and died to legitimize a corrupt, unjust “justice” system dominated by guys like this guy
Yeah, they’re “this close” to finally getting the dirt on Trump.
Dana Perino and her group of RINOS praising Mueller and sounding like idiots trying to extend some tax evasion by Gates as if it’s corruption by Trump. Even speculating on “Russian correlation” even though none is charged or exists.
ANYONE could be charged with a federal crime any day of the week. ANYONE.
MSN. MSNBC.
The ultimate in Fake News
This was the meeting that was SET UP BY THE FBI, AND WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE without them.................
Didnt all these crime happen while Mueller was head of the FBI? Funny that he didnt care enough about them to do anything while they were HIS responsibility.
I wonder how many indictments a special prosecutor, with unlimited money and only republican prosecutors, could bring against the actions of Democrat politicians over the last 15 years.
This is all just in preparation for Peelousy to introduce Articles of Impeachment once she takes back the gavel fron Paul Rino in Jan 2019.
Mike Flynn was an Obummer appointee.
“The Dems are playing for time to delay the day of reckoning that they know is coming.”
They want to run out the clock with the hopes they retake the Senate and Congress. This way they can impeach Trump and remove him from office. Fortunately, since Trump hasn’t committed any high crimes or misdemeanors, this will be brought to SCOTUS who will throw it out.
I am surprised the red headlines didn’t read: “Space Aliens Plotted With Trump to Control 2016 Elections.”
The only reason I can come up with to not fire Mueller (and, Rosenstien) is it is the only ways to get the Bolshies to buy in with the results. F#ck’em.
Can Trump give everyone Mueller indicts a pardon. and, make it known that is what he is doing. Would Mueller still have job to do?
Leftist fake stream media analysis: Hillary has a 98% chance of winning ...
(BTW, there is NO closer step “to Trump” because it’s all bullshit - Trump broke no laws and didn’t “collude” with anyone, much less the Russians. The left simply can’t accept that Trump won and they were so completely wrong about everything, so they have to make up phony hidden conspiracies.)
Actually pleaded is correct. Sometimes pled is used. Plead is not the past tense.
Does anyone find it odd that Mitch McConnell said we’re going to lose seats, and he’s not saying anything about Mueller?
Utter BS...
