Former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates just admitted to lying to U.S. investigators about a March 19, 2013, meeting between his boss, Paul Manafort, and an unidentified U.S. congressman. Public filings show a meeting that day between Manafort and Dana Rohrabacher, a Russia-friendly Republican congressman from California.

Gates pleaded guilty Friday to conspiracy against the U.S. and making false statements about a meeting that day. In a criminal information unsealed Friday, he admitted that he’d withheld that the meeting included a discussion of Ukraine, where he and Manafort had done political consulting work.

Gates and Manafort were charged in October with money laundering and failing to register foreign lobbying work with the U.S. government. Since then, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been pressing both men to cooperate, ratcheting up the pressure on Thursday with bank and tax fraud charges and again on Friday with conspiracy and false-statement counts.

Details of a March 19, 2013, meeting surfaced last year in supplemental filings from DMP International, Manafort’s firm, and Mercury Public Affairs, whose partner, Vin Weber, also participated in the 2013 meeting.

1. What have the Russians given Rohrbacher?

Or what do they have on him? I can't imagine that someone would be such a traitor for nothing.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. "...conspiracy against the US..."

That sure sounds close to "treason." Shit got real.

SO much worse-sounding than "obstruction" or campaign finance rules. Shouldn't crimes against the United States itself get these armchair patriot warriors' heads exploding? A good, solid case is something that cannot POSSIBLY be excused, by anyone that calls themselves "American."

9. Comrade Dana Rohrabacher - Putin's man in congress.

11. Drum roll for Mitt the Nitwit running in Utah.

I can see Mitt involved in the coming investigations.... course it won't hurt that he has a background in offshore tax shelters..
My guess is Romney is going to be important somehow.
Romney will tie in later in some tie breaking vote and he will
represent Wall Street.

13. Vin Weber? Really?

There’s a throwback to the Bush era.

14. Rohrabacher needs to resign.
