    Interesting to note that #Gates lied to #Mueller 's office in a proffer session on Feb 1 and had to plead guilty to it. That must have held up plea negotiations.

        Prosecutors will allow potential defendants to share all they know without consequence, so they can determine what that potential defendant has to offer in terms of testimony against others. Because there is no consequence, it is very bad form to lie in such a session.

        if you plead guilty to "conspiracy against the US" are you a traitor?

        Wow - Gates lied in his proffer THIS MONTH! Even after all the indictments for lying that Mueller has handed out. Whatever he lied about must be really big to take that kind of risk.

        The only rational reason to lie I can see is his betting on a pardon...

        Also, the timing seems to support the theory that Gates was counting on the Nunes memo to destroy the Mueller investigation. It didn't. 😂🤣

        I couldnt put the pdf of the unsealed indictments down. 25 pages & loaded with details on those two. Who else is getting jammed now? Especially given the money trail thru all the vendors! $5M+ to a home improvement company alone #Manafort & #RickGates = doomed #Mueller = FOR REAL

        Yes, indeed, though I still think the real holdup was negotiation over how the plea disposition would treat Gates' assets and money, both personal and as to lawyers fees (current and former).

        For the love of god - Gates had lawyers and he is old enough to remember that Martha Stewart did prison time for lying to the FBI. You don't have to be a lawyer or a genius to know this. This is arrogance.
