Yeah, but Rick Gates ... he was discredited in some Tweet or other, some night or other so therefore, it's all fake news!
Rick Gates was forced to admit an extramarital affair as Paul Manafort's defense team attacked his lies, secrets and credibility
The courtroom showdown between Paul Manafort and his former business partner grew painfully personal Tuesday as a defense lawyer hammered Rick Gates, the prosecution's star witness, forcing him to admit he embezzled money years ago to fund a transatlantic romance.
��There was another Richard Gates, isn��t that right? A secret Richard Gates?�� asked Manafort's attorney, Kevin Downing. Many of Downing��s questions seemed aimed at buttressing his central defense strategy: that Gates, not Manafort, is the real villain, an inveterate liar and thief. Manafort, President Trump��s onetime campaign chairman, is on trial in federal court in Alexandria on bank and tax fraud charges.

How strange: Gates credibility is in question for these behaviors.....when they are the new "standard" as set by the leadership.

Say, have you heard that recording of podesta being pranked into wanting to pay for some russian collusion? HIGHLARIOUS!!!
HAHA! Russia Pulls Off LEGENDARY April Fools’ Day Prank on Democratic Party…
There has been no evidence that Russia in any way affected the actual election and there has been no evidence as yet of any collusion about the election between the Trump team and Russia.
On the other hand, there has been plenty of evidence of Russian connections to the Podesta brothers including 35 million given to the company of John Podesta and Tony Podesta lobbying on behalf of a Kremlin-linked bank against U.S. sanctions on Russia.

Interesting to note that Trump has gone from "There was no collusion." to "Collusion is not a crime."
Prosecutors in Manafort trial have rested their bank and tax fraud case against the former Trump campaign chairman
After calling 27 witnesses over 10 days, prosecutors with the office of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III concluded their case in Virginia.
Through the testimony of vendors, accountants, bankers and Paul Manafort��s onetime business partner, Rick Gates, prosecutors sought to prove that Manafort lied to avoid paying taxes on millions in overseas income and to obtain loans. They highlighted his lavish lifestyle of luxury goods and residences. Manafort��s defense will now have the opportunity, if it chooses, to present witnesses.
