Mueller racks up 50 more indictments against T-rump campaign officials
Rob Mueller's special investigation into 'Russian interference' is turning up more heat under T-rump, as he brought 18 new charges against T-rump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort yesterday and an additional 32 against his aid Rick Gates. Prosecutors uncovered a scheme in which the two allegedly laundered $30 million, failed to pay taxes for almost 10 years and used real estate they owned to fraudulently secure more than $20 million in loans.
The new indictments, which face a $1M fine and 30 years in prison for both men, puts the pressure on Manafort to flip like a pancake, and strike a 'plea deal' with Mueller.
As for Gates, he's been negotiating a plea deal to flip since the beginning of February, according to sources. He has retained defense lawyer Tom Green, who has been working with Mueller's team for the past month to score a plea deal and flip Gates. An offer was presented to Gates earlier this week, it was reported, but Gates rejected it.
So tired of Russia winning.
