This week rick gates was communicating with a russian intelligence official during october 2016, during the height of the campaign, and this alleged russian agent is also an associate of Paul Manafort. He was doing work for Paul Manafort in the ukraine. All of this connection, certainly a key significant fact in the mueller investigation. What might gates actually know . Certainly the suggestions are that he knows a lot. He was Paul Manaforts deputy on the campaign. He had a seat at the table. Theres no indication, word is he wasnt very close to the president when he was running the campaign, but he was, as i said, man forts deputy, he was also involved in the Inauguration Committee with a man, a fund razor who is a close friend of the president , tom barrack. Certainly he would be in some of the finances that went behind the campaign, that went behind the inauguration. All of this all of this is part of the special counsels investigation.
