Hmm... maybe jimmy has a point here.

He wants SO BADLY to be relevant.

[Tassman]

Can you please provide the exact terms of that deal?

Robert Mueller, "the lead Russia investigator, asked a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia Tuesday to dismiss a series of criminal charges against Gates, including tax and bank fraud, in exchange for his guilty plea and testimony in the wider probe into the 2016 presidential election."

Doesn't matter since his testimony is backed up by documentation. Documents don't lie!

So false reports have never been filed, Jimmy?

Yes, all of the banks, the managers, the ceo's, the e-mails and even Manafort himself, all conspired against him. You people truly will believe anything, won't you? It's no wonder you're Trumpsters!

You can trust people who are willing to lie in person to never, ever put a false statement in a document. Honest!

Not what I asked for, but thanks for playing. I found the actual plea deal online.

And any competent prosecutor will do everything he can to keep a key witness from being documented as a liar because it makes his credibility easy pickings for the defense. The fact that this is best Mueller has suggests that he has a weak case.

Yeah, I've seen time and time again where the prosecutor (or defense, either one) will play the game "ok, so you were lying then, but you're telling the truth now.... how can we tell?" and "ok, so when you said [ xyz ], were you lying then" and, my personal favorite, "so, when you were sworn in and promised to tell the truth....".

Not when the statements documented are made by the defendent himself. Honest! Gates could, if he were stupid, lie in his testimony, but that isn't going to change the facts as testified to by all the other witnesses as well as the documentation. Sheesh, wake up!

Stop exposing your idiocy, MM. There are multiple witnesses as well as the documentation of those witnesses not the least of which is the documentation of Manafort himself.

both corrupt and had financial ties to Russia. One wonders why Trump, whom as we all know only ever chooses the best people, appointed them.

It looks like the federal judge castigated the federal prosecutors yesterday for misrepresenting evidence about her having an affair with a Republican consultant (making it look like she was offering sex to gain information and access). From the Washington Post:

To be fair the judge also chastised the defense attorney for going on TV and discussing details of the case.
