EXCLUSIVE: Rick Gates is VERY CLOSE to finalizing a plea deal with Mueller. He's already talked with special counsel about what he knows--hard to go to trial after that.

Gates would be 3rd cooperator in Russia probe.

41. Swamp Cleaning, the Correct Way

Mueller is a brilliant strategist. Trump is clueless. Mueller absorbs every vanquished opponent onto his team, Trump runs people off.

Mueller is converting the Trump team into Mueller team members. It's kinda the story of America. Bring us your worst, we will find a place where they can serve their country.

In this case, Bannon can serve his country by keeping himself out of jail. Mueller gave him a relative win-win.

[applegrove]

42. You mean Gates. You wrote Bannon.

[zentrum]

43. The article says it's about Manaforte.

Not Trump. His evidence won't lead to Trump, it seems.

[Takket]

45. awfully strange how many people are pleading guilty to a crime that is just fake news
