A former top aide to Donald Trump's presidential campaign will plead guilty to fraud-related charges within days – and has made clear to prosecutors that he would testify against Paul J. Manafort Jr., the lawyer-lobbyist who once managed the campaign.
The change of heart by Trump's former deputy campaign manager, Richard W. Gates III, who had pleaded not guilty after being indicted in October on charges similar to Manafort's, was described in interviews by people familiar with the case.
"Rick Gates is going to change his plea to guilty,'' said a person with direct knowledge of the new developments, adding that the revised plea will be presented in federal court in Washington "within the next few days.''
That individual and others who discussed the matter spoke on condition of anonymity, citing a judge's gag order restricting comments about the case to the news media or public.

I've heard various experts say over the past few weeks that Gates was in a position to know a lot of stuff. Trump should probably be a little more worried. We'll see...
Apparently a lot of people didn't read the indictment from Mueller. He laid it out very specifically. This is no longer about collusion. It is now the crime of conspiracy against the United States, and anybody that gets touched by this indictment, for any reason, nomatter who that may be, is caught up in a conspiracy indictment, and that goes for everyone already that has been indicted, entered into a plea, is further cooperating with investigation, to the un named co conspirators listed in the indictment we don't even know yet, to everyone in the Trump campaign including Manafort, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr., right up the to the top of the food chain.
And that's not even including the money laundering charges and who that may end up touching. All of the supporters of the orange ass clown on usmb, and elsewhere can keep their heads buried up his ass all they want, but their support can't help him, and this doesn't even take into consideration down the line what Mike Pence's exposure is, or Jeff Sessions, or any Congressional Republicans, or media sources that let their alligator mouths overload their canary assholes.
I read the whole thang, and posted many, many parts with highlighted screen clips before posting..
