      No, what I'm saying is that Gates is a crook who has a lot to personally lose by lying. Why are you taking Manafort's side against Gates? They're both crooks.

        A lot to lose, yes, but also a lot to gain if he can get away with it. That's the part you're refusing to acknowledge.

          Come on, MM, crooks like Gates suddenly become outstanding pillars of virtue and honesty when testifying in court - don't you know that? He is only interested in truth and justice, and not worried at all about his own skin.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            Of course. How silly of me.

              Gates struck a plea deal with Mueller's team, he has already got what he stands to gain. Truthfully testifying in the trial offers Gates the clearest path to avoiding prison time.

                Can you please provide the exact terms of that deal?

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

                    You're proving yourself to be pretty dumb for an ex officer of the law CP. Even us laymen understand how this works. It isn't one mans word against another, there need also be evidence supporting one mans word against the others.

                      Yes, pretty silly of both of you, but not unexpected.

                        Why do the exact terms matter to you. The only thing about it that you need to know is that if he is caught lying then the deal is cancelled and Gates will be subject to trial for which he knows he will be found guilty and go to prison. This isn't rocket science, officer.
