Rick Gates, ex-Trump official who aided Mueller probe, sentenced to 45 days in jail I am getting very close to not believing it anymore: "trust the plan", "justice takes time", "we have it all"! Why can the Dems move 1000% faster than the Reps?? All the Trump associated people are getting convicted in record time and go to jail and all the DS scum bags are still walking free and even get a pay check. WTF!! Rick Gates, the former Trump campaign official and onetime business partner of Paul Manafort, was sentenced to 45 days in jail on counts of conspiracy and lying to federal investigators. Gates, 47, appeared in federal court in Washington to learn his sentence Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him to 36 months probation and 45 days behind bars, which he will be allowed to serve on weekends or under a schedule set by probation officers. He must also pay a fine of $20,000 over the course of 20 months, and complete 300 hours of community service. Gates was one of six Trump associates charged in connection to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He pleaded guilty to two counts in February 2018, admitting he lied to federal investigators and helped Manafort conceal millions of dollars in overseas payments. Gates agreed to cooperate with the government, becoming the star witness in high-profile trials of three others charged in the Mueller probe: Manafort, Roger Stone and Greg Craig.  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rick-gates-sentencing-former-trump-campaign-aide-sentenced-today-live-updates-2019-12-17/
