Rick Gates sentenced

Gates will also serve 45 days in jail on weekends or in accordance with the schedule of the probation office.

Fair enough. He cooperated and testified in both the Manafort and Stone trials.

Teaser in Rick Gates' sentencing papers

According to a podcast with Ken White,  in the Rick Gates (Paul Manafort's right-hand man) sentencing papers there's a note that reads in essence, "in the course of resisting pressure not to cooperate...[Gates] was not only approached by what the government calls high-level politicians, but also offered money."

Hmmmm.  Who would that be?  And will it come up somewhere in a future case?  White adds, "It's not the sort of bomb they drop casually."

Gates is to be sentenced next Tuesday.  Prosecutors are are recommending that he receive no jail time due to his extensive cooperation, including testifying in both the Manafort and Roger Stone trials.
