Mueller Has Clearly Turned Gates as Guilty Plea Deal Reveals Vastly Reduced Charges
25-Page Gates Plea Deal
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has clearly turned former Paul Manafort deputy Rick Gates in the federal Russia investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia. Earlier this week Mueller revealed a 32-count indictment against Gates and Manafort, but today the charges against Gates have been dramatically reduced to just two – a clear sign Gates has offered Mueller the tangible evidence has been seeking.
“Mueller seems to be approaching this like he’s trying to prosecute the Gambino crime family … he’s trying to flip people up the chain.”
