And I wonder if this influences Manaforts ideas on whether to plead out.
The Gates charge also mentions, in conjunction with the false statement count, a meeting Manafort had with "a congressman" - which is a reference to Dana Rohrabacher. Although it doesn't accuse Rohrabacher of anything yet, I assume we're going to see him keel-hauled one day.
It's kind of mind-blowing when you realize that Gates' false statement charge came from a lie he told as recently as this first of this month. And why would he lie about what Manafort told him about a meeting with Rohrabacher and another lobbyist? Missing some pieces of this puzzle.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:
Manafort's statement: he's not budging. Yet. Maybe he knows he's getting a pardon.
