The plea deal could be a significant development in the investigation a sign that Mr. Gates plans to offer incriminating information against his longtime associate and the former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, or other members of the Trump campaign in exchange for a lighter punishment.

Manafort is mana-fucked.

Rick Gates is "a longtime political consultant who once served as Mr. Trumps deputy campaign chairman." he's being charged with all sorts of financial crimes and he's very closely tied to Paul Manafort, who was Trump's former campaign manager and is facing over a dozen federal charges related to Russian money.

He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor.

Manafort was incredibly close to Trump and was the campaign manager for quite some time. he's been associated with Trump for over a decade, since as early as 2005 or 2006 i think?

if Manafort is as deep in with the Russia as some think, him flipping could implicate a lot of powerful Russians which could endanger his life and those he cares about because that's how mobsters work.

What I find most amazing is that he took a plea deal down to Conspiracy against the United States. The original charges were even worse.
