President Donald Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates, who gave crucial testimony as a prosecution witness that helped convict former Trump advisers Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, will be sentenced on Dec. 17 in his own criminal case, a court filing showed on Friday.
Gates, who had initially pleaded not guilty to charges brought by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, reversed himself in February 2018 and pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy against the United States and lying to investigators.
As part of his plea deal, Gates agreed to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation, which documented Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Gates faces a maximum prison term of nearly six years when he is sentenced.
His testimony was an important part of the prosecution case last year against Manafort, Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman and Gates’ former business partner. Manafort’s lawyers tore into Gates on the witness stand, prompting him to admit to an extramarital affair and having embezzled money. But Manafort was convicted by a jury in federal court in Virginia of tax and bank fraud and is now serving a prison sentence of 7-1/2 years.
He also appeared as a prosecution witness in federal court in Washington against Stone, the longtime Trump adviser and veteran Republican operative who was convicted by a jury on Friday on seven counts of lying to the U.S. Congress, obstruction and witness tampering. [nL2N27V0S8]
In pivotal testimony, Gates told jurors on Tuesday that he witnessed a phone call between Trump and Stone related to the WikiLeaks website in late July 2016.
In a court filing on Monday, prosecutors disclosed that the testimony by Gates in the Stone trial would conclude his cooperation with the government, and they asked a judge to set a sentencing date.
Gates, a former political consultant and lobbyist, is one of several former Trump aides to have pleaded guilty or been convicted of charges brought by Mueller, who completed his investigation in March. In addition to his senior role as a campaign adviser, Gates also worked for Trump’s presidential inaugural committee before Trump took office in January 2017.

[FONT="]Let’s follow the trail...... Everyone needs to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important......[/FONT]
[FONT="]Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. It smells like conspiracy and treason.[/FONT]
[FONT="]From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. [/FONT]
[FONT="]A Grand Jury had been impaneled. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity.” [/FONT]
[FONT="]Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess who took over this investigation in 2002? [/FONT]
[FONT="]None other than James Comey. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess who was transferred in to the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Your friend and mine, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner. [/FONT]
[FONT="]It gets better, well not really, but this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005? [/FONT]
[FONT="]None other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame? [/FONT]
[FONT="]I know, it’s a miracle, just a coincidence, just an anomaly in statistics and chances, but it was Robert Mueller. [/FONT]
[FONT="]What do all four casting characters have in common? [/FONT]
[FONT="]They all were briefed and/or were front line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation [/FONT]
[FONT="]Now that’s just a coincidence, right? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Ok, lets chalk the last one up to mere chance. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Let’s fast forward to 2009...... [/FONT]
[FONT="]James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, on her own personal email server, by the way. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of Hillary.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Like all good public servants do. You know - looking out for America’s best interests. She decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of all of the US's Uranium to none other than -- the Russians.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Now, you might think that this was a fairly straight-up deal, except that it wasn’t: The American People got absolutely nothing out of it.[/FONT]
[FONT="]And they're investigating president Trump for "collusion."[/FONT]
[FONT="]However, prior to the sales approval, none other than Bill Clinton traveled to Moscow, got paid 500K for a one hour speech, and then met with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Ok, no big deal right? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Well, not so fast: the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess who was the FBI Director during this time? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Yep, Robert Mueller, who even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland? [/FONT]
[FONT="]None other than, Rod Rosenstein. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess what happened to the informant? [/FONT]
[FONT="]The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it. [/FONT]
[FONT="]How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole, providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess what happened soon after the sale was approved? [/FONT]
[FONT="]~145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Now guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, Lois Lerner. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences. Nothing to see here, right? [/FONT]
[FONT="]Let’s fast forward to 2015. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that The Hillary is sending State Department emails on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server. [/FONT]
[FONT="]He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law. [/FONT]
[FONT="]He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email. (Let's not forget - at least 10 CIA spies in china were killed by the Chinese because of the leaks, and God knows what else occurred.) [/FONT]
[FONT="]Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Now this is amazing: guess who became FBI Director in 2013?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Hint: he secured 17 no-bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed Lockheed.[/FONT]
[FONT="]None other than James Comey. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through.[/FONT]

Where is the "Russian Intel Network" charges or facts as stated in this thread?
Read the charges Stone was found guilty of, you fat, stupid, lying runt. ONCE AGAIN, I haven't heard a SINGLE Republican here explain the stampede of Trump hired (or held over) officials testifying against him. Why IS that, I wonder?:think2
opcorn-eatinggif and, why did you lie and say Vindman wasn't on the phone call, Boulder Head?
