Gates is still completely cooperating in an "ongoing and sealed investigation".

[Cetacea]

Perhaps some have been too quick to write off Mueller.

1. Probably the Giuliani, Parnash investigation involving Firtash who was Manafort's partner

Manafort was paid to advance Firtash's pro-Russia aims in Ukraine and in US and we now know that Parnas who paid Giuliani a half million last year failed to disclose Parnas' wife's receipt of $1 million in September from a bank account linked back to Firtash.

Gates had 55 bank accounts at 13 banks including Cyprus where he traveled making arrangements with the Firtash connected pro-Russia oligarchs funding him and Manafort so the trail of his contacts and financial transactions has certainly provided some clues in the current probe.

2. Mueller will be vindicated

This is a criminal administration with a plethora of enablers including many in Congress, corporate America and the media. TO be kind, the planet is dealing with a kakistocracy.

10. I think he will be as well

3. Gates is a *deep* well of info - if the country knew a tenth of what he does, impeachment and

removal would have happened yesterday!!

He was not only Manafort’s partner (for about 10 years!! 10 YEARS), but Tom Barrack took him under his wing after Manafort was booted off the campaign. Barrack was head of the inauguration committee and Gates became his go-to guy...so just imagine the fuckery rampant just within that committee!! Hmmm, does Gates know where that mysterious $26 million ended up??

I just can’t even express how glad I am he flipped!!!! And of course at the time, I said, meh, who’s this meek little accountant-looking fellow, he don’t know squat compared to Manafort - WRONG, I WAS SO WRONG

Anyway, keep up the good work, Gates, not kidding

6. Manafort could just be going in for 45 days too if he hadn't been...

such a naive sucker depending on trump to pardon him.

Newsflash, Manafort: trump throws everyone under the bus once he's used them. Enjoy the rest of your life in prison.

4. Gates got only 45 days in jail ... good for him

[Mike 03]

5. Mueller handed off multiple investigations so his work is not done.

The full implications of what he accomplished and set into motion won't be fully appreciated for some time.

7. My hope is that they keep these investigations sealed until Jan 2021.

[ScratchCat]

9. Dont forget about

the investigations surrounding the inauguration and the money being spent elsewhere. There are two or three investigations involving the Trump Campaign that Gates would have had info on.
