As pointed out by
@nycsouthpaw, Gates' initial lawyers' motion to withdraw immediately due to "irreconcilable differences ... which make our effective representation of the client impossible" was filed the day Gates is accused of making the false statement to Mueller's team.pic.twitter.com/NLDKwbTL1q

Here’s our running report at
@BuzzFeedNews on today’s coming guilty plea from Rick Gates — and a count that alleges Gates lied in 2018 about a 2013 meeting Paul Manafort held with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller …Show this thread -

Paul Manafort maintains his innocence in a new statement. "For reasons yet to surface," Manafort adds, Gates "chose" not to continue fighting. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller?utm_term=.xnrD95pXy#.ewDGMaLrq …pic.twitter.com/AUJO9gbDI0

New lawyers must have talked sense into him.
-
yeah!

I was intrigued by idea espoused by a reporter I saw on
@Maddow that Gates may have naively thought he wasn't in legal jeopardy because all this work was for his boss. Which made me wonder...did Gates get any of this money Manafort was stealing? -
I've definitely known some assistants to Head Men who will do things like fake documents for their boss and not even consider "am I committing a crime?" Just thinking this is part of their regular salaried-duties. Kind of VEEP-like basically.

it would help if we still taught civics/ ethics in schools.

They are still taught it in schools. My 11th & 12th graders both had it at their respective schools last yr. My 11th grader's class was even taught by an attorney & the school resource officer.

oh well then I don’t know what everyone’s excuse is for such lack of morals values ethics in America. why do so many buy the outright lies told to them on FoxNews?

Exiting the process is an interesting euphemism for admitting guilt.
