Gates, a former deputy campaign manager on the Trump campaign who has reached a plea deal with the special counsel team being led by Robert Mueller, testified that he helped Manafort cheat on his taxes and hide his foreign bank accounts from the government.

The 46-year-old father of four from Richmond is a key witness for the prosecution against Manafort. He will face decades behind bars if convicted.

Freshly shaved and dressed in a blue suit, Gates entered a packed courtroom to tell jurors that he engaged in a variety of crimes with Manafort, whom he said he first met as an intern at Manafort’s former firm in the 1990s.

Gates testified that he was part of a conspiracy with Manafort to file false tax returns, hide foreign bank accounts and not register as a foreign agent.

You hire, "only the best people", huh, Donny?
 
"Freshly shaved." It makes it sound like he was ritualistically shorn by concubines before being bathed and then presented to the court in shackles.
 
The circus continues.

So the guy who admits to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from Manafort is the key witness? Sounds credible....

Interestingly, Mueller has chosen to allow him to plea out of the crimes against the accused in return for testimony against the accused. Seems legit... :roll:

This is starting to remind me of the old SNL skit where Joe Pesci plays a mob informant who wears a wire to a mob meeting and all the mobsters what to talk about is all of Joe Pesci's crimes.
