Gates Pleading Guilty, Cooperating With Mueller (UPDATED)
After being hit with dozens of new charges earlier this week, Rick Gates, Paul Manafort's business partner and deputy Trump campaign manager, has announced that he will cooperate with Robert Mueller's investigation and plead guilty to two criminal counts, conspiracy against the U.S. and making false statements to Federal agents, as outlined in an unsealed "Superseding Criminal Information" document submitted to the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. Gates is scheduled to enter his plea of guilty at 2 p.m. today in Federal court. This agreement should yield a bounty of information on the Trump campaign's dealings with Russian government agents.
UPDATE: It also appears from the charges that Putin's favorite Congressman/ go-between may be in deep borscht.

Again, props to Mueller for his thorough, well-managed investigation. Gates and Manafort are the idiotic tip of the iceburg and I have a feeling there is much more to be discovered. I hope it all leads back to Trump"s also-idiotic family and eventually to the old Orange Cheeto himself.
Let's see how far Putin's puppet strings reach, shall we?
