Russia investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reeling in the big fish as Rick Gates will plead guilty and testify against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
The LA Times reported:
“Rick Gates is going to change his plea to guilty,” said a person with direct knowledge of the new developments, adding that the revised plea will be presented in federal court in Washington “within the next few days.”
….
The same individual said he did not believe Gates has information to offer Mueller’s team that would “turn the screws on Trump.” The president has repeatedly called the special counsel’s investigation a “witch hunt.”
Rick Gates leads to the people who will lead to Trump
Rick Gates won’t lead directly to Donald Trump, but Robert Mueller and his team are putting the pieces in place of a very complex puzzle. Rick Gates will lead to Paul Manafort who will like lead to either Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr, both, or other high-level members of Trump’s inner circle. The Gates plea is about getting Manafort to flip.
Paul Manafort may take the bullet for Trump and company, but the odds are that he is waiting for the right time to cut a deal. The White House doesn’t want to face it, but the investigation is closing in on Trump, and the flip of Rick Gates is a big step forward in the pursuit of the truth.
