Rick Gates, the former campaign aide to Donald Trump, is cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into whether individuals from the Middle East worked with the Trump campaign to influence the election, according to two individuals with first-hand knowledge of the investigation.
Gates has answered questions specifically about Psy Group, an Israeli firm that ex-employees say drew up social media manipulation plans to help the Trump campaign, according to sources familiar with the questions. Mueller’s team also asked Gates about interactions with Psy Group’s owner, Joel Zamel, and Lebanese-American businessman George Nader, who worked as an emissary for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the sources said.
On Tuesday, Mueller’s team said that Gates was cooperating with “several ongoing investigations” in asking a federal judge to delay his sentencing for financial crimes he pleaded guilty to committing with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. One of the ongoing investigations is into possible Middle Eastern election influence, three people with knowledge of the probe told The Daily Beast.

Now Gates is helping Mueller go after Israel.
Let's remember Obama and his little trip to the UK to fight against Brexit. Not the only election he interfered in.
These are purely evil people. It makes me wonder what is it that all these Deep State puppets in Congress and in the bureaucracy are afraid of having exposed to the American people. They’re the ones who are scared and in a state of panic, and not the president.
Two years of “Russia, Russia, Russia” didn’t get legs. Now they’re trying “Israel, Israel, Israel”?
we’ve gone from Russia, to Israel, to the Middle East.
Hey, how about looking into Mexican interference? Canadian interference? and European interference? all designed to elect dual nationals and socialists
so now Trump is being accused of colluding with Israel lol..well gee Israel is an ally what’s the problem..i guess the commie Jew hating left will have a problem with it
I spent 3 months in Israel.
I went on two dates with a Russian woman in the USA.
Maybe I should just shoot myself.
I watched a BBC show where someone made a joke about Trump...am I colluding with a foreign power?? (that we were at war with once!!!)
oh for goodness’ sakes!
how long is PDJT gonna let this Mueller krap go on.. and on... and on..??????????
We know where this is headed. Pres Trump received election help from Israeli right if he moved embassy to Jerusalem. Never mind the caliph meddling in Israeli elections. The State dept vipers are behind this coup. You can bet on it
Last I heard, Israel is an ally. And internet campaigning was done by both candidates and is not illegal. Obama was praised by the media for pioneering the tactic.
Didn’t Obama interfere with an election in Israel years ago?
I heard Trump made a deal with the Martians that would give them a large supply of Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators.
I heard it from high ranking White House insiders who wish to remain anonymous.
We’re him and his dog wearing tennis shoes?
God bless the Israelis and the Russians.
Without their influence we would have an insane, drunken murderous, stumbling communist harridan as president
None of this would be a crime, if it were true.
HildaBeast tooks hundreds of millions in Saudi & Ukrainian cash, and worked with British intel to come up with the fake dossier. Mueller the Cover Up specialist has not interest in that.
..................
It appears as though Gates and as many as 2 prominent Republicans approaches an Israeli firm to manage, manipulate since they were being interviewed by a conservative, their approach to social media.
From this and other articles it appears the contract could have been worth as much as $3.4 million. Imagine that, $3.4 million. Wouldn't support Democrat's partying in Puerto Rico during the shutdown.
There is no indication they were hired, but it might have been considered. Democrats never hire PR firms after all.
I'm not sure quite how this is an issue for Mueller. Hiring an Israeli firm, booooooo, owned by an Australian is hardly foreign interference. I can't imagine a crime is involved. Unless Mueller assumes Israeli company, must be an Israeli government front. Reasonable I guess, Israel isn't exactly known for small start up companies. So it must be the government. The US is ahead in sheer numbers, I think Israel ranks 3. Can't remember who is 2, I'm thinking the UK.
Who is heading up the Special Council investigating Mexican meddling in the 2016 election? Including voting in the damn thing????
Yes, as in sending money and advisors. Bill Clinton did it too. Sent the crazy Louisiana guy over to run things.
Gates strikes me as an all around piece of crap.
