Rick Gates has pled guilty to "conspiracy against the United States". No word on if that's worse than "email stuff could have maybe gone wrong" or not. I'm guessing someone will be here shortly to tell us they're the same.
Former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates pleaded guilty Friday to conspiracy and to lying to investigators — even while he was negotiating a deal with prosecutors. It makes him the third associate of the president to strike a cooperation agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller.
The agreement, which requires Gates to cooperate on "all matters" prosecutors deem relevant, turns up the pressure on Paul Manafort, a close business associate of Gates who was the chairman of the Trump campaign.
It appears to be a good deal for both sides. Gates could get as little as probation if he keeps up his end of the bargain and Mueller's case from Manafort morphs from one built on paper evidence to one where the star witness worked hand-in-hand with the defendant.

Re: POTUS 45.29: Eggs and Tweet Storms for Breakfast
Guy lies to the feds while cutting a deal related to prior lying to the feds.
Who could have seen that coming?
This is why Mueller needs to get Dumpy in front of him, though. Just let the loathesome bloviaswine unwind on tape for five minutes and he'll lie his way into a lifetime sentence.
But...................but......................... .....he had a GUN!!!!!
All you need to stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun. Unless you need to wait for backup while 17 kids get slaughtered.
I never was a believer of a "good guy with a guy will end the threat." I do believe that a good guy with a gun MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT cause the threat to think twice before becoming a threat, if that makes sense.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Can you imagine having to be stuck in a room with him though? (I can cause I was!) Mueller might shoot himself...but the tapes will be must hear reading

He's a ****ing lawyer and doesn't know that you don't lie to the FBI? How stupid are these people, and how did they get a law degree?
Gates is not a lawyer. He has a Master of Public Policy from GW -- it's a credential degree they mail to you if you send them two box tops and a letter from a Senate subcommittee saying you're under investigation.
He did get his BA from William and Mary so he's probably not a complete moron, unless daddy bought his way in like Dumpy and Wharton.

Hmmm. I thought someone told me he was a lawyer. He's just a Charisma dude then, like Dump.

That's an awful lot of "mights" there, son. So many as to almost be worthless.
What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

There is a lot of mights. Depends on the mentality of the shooter. If they are intent on death by cop, nothing will change. If they are just an angry individual, they might avoid a place that armed individuals are located.
