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.

Something big must be coming out tomorrow and this story is to buffer it. That is my conspiracy theory.

Freaking unknown goober RICK GATES

That's Richard W Gates, III, Paul Manafort's business partner. See the indictment. Nothing to do with the Donald.

Mueller is a criminal. Guilty of RICO with respect to uranium deals prior to and including Uranium 1.

Including delivery of Highly Enriched Stuff to Russia - supposed sample. His digging is self protection as well as protecting his cohorts in crime. He’s a long time “cleaner” for the rich and crooked Politicos. JMHO

That’s easy. Herr Mueller is on his own side. Will happily throw anyone else under the bus. His job is to clean up the mess left by info making it into the public from Wiki Leaks etc.

Given the apparent corruption at the FBI and DOJ why would any lawyer allow his client to plea out? I would tell them go to hell see you in court and prepare to depose every lying official that could have touched any part of the case.

he was Manafort’s shadow. The specialty being, supporting candidates and when they win, lobbying the winners on behalf of business owners looking for contracts. What he is being investigated for seems to have nothing to do with the Trump campaign or collusion. Rather, it appears the DOJ is unusually interested in how the methods/processes of capitalism works when applied to European markets and are willing to bankrupt people to get that information. I am curious as to why no ‘bush and Kerry’ operatives have been interviewed to the extent of Gates or Manafort.

Interesting background, and to steal a quote:
“ Mr. Yanukovych’s operation boasted numerous veterans of both George W. Bush’s and John Kerry’s presidential campaigns....“You elect Yanukovych, he is going to make it a market economy, so you work to do deals and get foreign investment — and that’s where the real money was,” Mr. Devine said.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/16/us/politics/rick-gates-russia.html

“Let that sink in, folks.”

Let what sink in?

We learn exactly nothing from these fake news stories. We know exactly nothing about the status of any DOJ investigations.

Yet, with no information at all, you are able to judge the AG’s job performance and find him wanting.

The fake news must be thrilled to find how easily they can sprinkle fake crumbs and have everyone running around drawing profound conclusions.

Trump needs to stick with STRAIGHT people. But tried it the other way, and paid BIG TIME.

I think Manafort is probably guilty of many things. Remember that Trump fired him the day after receiving his first top secret intelligence briefing.
