Mueller moves to dismiss charges against Rick Gates in Russia Probe

Special Counsel Robert Mueller moved Tuesday to dismiss nearly two-dozen charges against former Trump campaign associate Rick Gates, in the wake of his guilty plea last week.
quote:
Mueller’s team filed a motion to drop 22 tax and bank fraud charges against Gates. The filing was tied to Gates’ agreement last week to plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and lying to the FBI.
quote:
Under the terms of the deal, the government had agreed it would move to dismiss another set of charges brought against him more recently in a Virginia federal court. Those charges covered everything from alleged tax fraud to bank fraud. The filing on Tuesday indicates Gates could be continuing to cooperate with the special counsel team -- as it pursues charges against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Gates has intimate knowledge of Manafort’s years of political consulting work in Ukraine, as well as other events that have sparked the interest of federal investigators.

What is really frieghtening in this whole mess is that the federal government can bankrupt a person into a guilty plea

So I am guessing Mueller was dog-piling the charges on Gates as well as Manafort for insurance.
This tells me Manafort is going down. Hard.

Old news.
One of the reasons why the Founders would be appalled at the concept of federal criminal charges.

Paul's only hope at this point is a pardon (though he'd still got state liability to contend with). Oh, or he could cooperate if he knows anything.

If honest bob had evidence or something else, he wouldn’t need Gates.
Also is this the same kind of “evidence” that was presented to the kangaroo court to get the FISA warrant in the first place?

Guilt of 45 charges gets you to plead down every time.
Monafort begged to be pardoned last week so he doesn't have to sing.
