Washington (CNN)Former Trump campaign adviser Rick Gates is finalizing a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, indicating he’s poised to cooperate in the investigation, according to sources familiar with the case.
Gates has already spoken to Mueller’s team about his case and has been in plea negotiations for about a month. He’s had what criminal lawyers call a “Queen for a Day” interview, in which a defendant answers any questions from the prosecutors’ team, including about his own case and other potential criminal activity he witnessed.
bkmk
Aside from the legal maneuvering, the father of four has faced personal and financial pressure to bring his legal proceedings to a speedy resolution, according to a person familiar with the situation.
I bet this plea deal has nothing to do with Russia collusion either.
Another process crime.
He’s a Queen for a Day.
I wonder if Mueller is telling Gates: a long prison sentence if you don’t give me anything I can use against Trump, but offer me something I can use to indict Trump (it doesn’t have to be true—the D.C. grand jury will accept anything) and you’ll get off with probation and a fine.
...and Sessions STAYS recused while this coup continues.
Let that sink in, folks.
And who is this guy? If he's as unknown as it sounds, how would he have known anything of substance or value to give to Mueller?
Saving his own, sweet candy ass one betrayal after another.
anonymous sources = fake news by leftist fake stream media until actually proved otherwise by actual events ... until then I figure this is all just BS ...
Pardoned men have no need to talk.
Fake news.
Is it or is it not true that Mueller’s investigation is under a cloud because it has used questionable methods to have a FISA warrant approved.
And if that is true anything that stems from a faulty authorization from the court is faulty, fruit of the poison tree, not worth a nickel...in other words Bullcrap?
So why am I, or even Mr. Gates concerned with a plea deal?
zzzzz.
much ado about nothing.
I don’t believe anything the CNN or the NY Times says when their “source” is anonymous sources.
More fruit of the poisonous tree.
Bannen spent 20+ hours being interviewed this week.
Mueller is going to Trump one way or another. It is what he was hired to do, to bring down Trump.
What he is doing witj Flynn, Manafort and Gates is manufacturing a case. He will continue to manufacture until he has a trumped up charge to drive Trump out of office
CNN just won’t give it up
TOTAL AND UTTER FANTASY.
NEVER going to happen.
