    For those who profess surprise that Gates might be cooperating on more than Manafort: 2 weeks after Gates flipped Mueller got warrants for 5 AT&T phones, at least some of which aren't Manafort's. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/05/30/on-those-five-att-phones-manafort-wanted-to-learn-about/ …

        That's around when things really heated up against Roger Stone. We also know Stone witnesses have been asked about meetings with Rick Gates. So ... that's just one reason we ALREADY KNEW Gates was cooperating on more than Manafort.

        Also note: If Mueller got warrants for 5 AT&T phones, he probably got warrants for a similar number of Verizon phones.

        You could also surmise that the SC's unusual promise not to oppose probation for Gates -- a sentence his judge may or may not go along with -- is another clue that Gates is indeed a pretty big fish (to use the technical legal term) for Mueller's team.

        I'm wondering if Mueller even tried to make a deal w/ Manafort after he got Gates. Mafafort couldnt even convert word to PDF without Gates, could he pull off stealing an election? Gates knows a lot.

        I agree, Gates has always been a more powerful witness to further crimes as he stayed with the team officially throughout the transition and post inauguration. He overlaps completely with Manafort and was easier to flip as he is younger with more to loose.

        I’d be surprised if he wasn’t.

        so Mueller is waiting to who from Stone's camp will offer to flip before being asked about now?

        "Gates is only going to bring down manager" is the self-soothing lie people tell themselves when they aren't willing to completely abandon reality and go full qanon
