Mueller’s Narrative

Rick Gates got a sweet deal from Mueller. Hard to believe it was just for nailing Manafort, who was already screwed.

The narrative: Trump laundered dirty Russian money for profit in exchange for getting elected to protect Putin from sanctions, then obstructed justice to cover it all up.

We no longer have to prove collusion. Mueller has done that. Up to Trump to disprove it.

NYT: Rick Gates, Trump Campaign Aide, to Plead Guilty in Mueller Inquiry and Cooperate

“The plea deal could be a significant development in the investigation — a sign that Mr. Gates plans to offer incriminating information against his longtime associate and the former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, or other members of the Trump campaign in exchange for a lighter punishment.”

UPDATE: Gates pleaded guilty to two charges brought against him by Mueller’s team in federal court in Washington, D.C. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy against the United States and one count of making a false a statement to the FBI agents investigating Russian interference.
