My theory is that Gates testifying in the Manafort trial, where his testimony was really not necessary, was a trial run for upcoming trials where his testimony will be pivotal.

Doesn't make sense. Unless there was a reason they wanted to give Manafort full discovery before trial, to give him one last chance to flip before it started.

But isnt there a protective order on gates' cooperation that would prevent manafort from getting much on gates?

Good point. Trial made clear that Mueller had more than enough evidence on Manafort without Gates’ help, and charging them together might have made the bank fraud charge simpler. Must be more to Gates’ deal.

There is merit however in getting Gates to affirm in public & on the record much of what was known so as to clarify what happened & when, no?
