"Former Donald Trump campaign deputy Rick Gates is quickly discovering
that cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller has its advantages.
The lead Russia investigator asked a federal court in Alexandria,
Virginia Tuesday to dismiss a series of criminal charges against Gates,
including tax and bank fraud, in exchange for his guilty plea and
testimony in the wider probe into the 2016 presidential election.
Gates also secured another win on Tuesday when a different judge granted
his request to take his children to Boston next week for their spring
break — well outside the 110-mile corridor between his home in Richmond
and Washington that he’d previously been confined to for his travels.
The additional leniency comes after Gates agreed to a plea deal last
Friday with Mueller that stipulates he must cooperate “in any and all
matters” that the special counsel’s office decides are “relevant.”
Gates likely can help the government in its prosecution of his longtime
business partner Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who
is fighting Mueller’s indictments for money laundering, failing to
register as an agent of a foreign government, and bank and tax fraud.”*
The walls are closing in Donnie, you're lawyers and the 1% cannot save your Monkey Ass now!!!
