I think there will be little from Manafort's attorney to prove Gates is lying--because proving he is lying will likely incriminate Manafort even more...

Look at the physical evidence---
The accounts are there--they were real--not faux--and they WERE Manafort's
They were NOT on his income tax filings
What confusion is there about tax fraud w/that type of proof???

And Manafort's wife signed lot of those tax returns didn't she?
What is her exposure as being accomplice to tax fraud?
Is that a squeeze option Mueller or any other legal agency (NY state for example) have explored to compel Manafort to cooperate???

His attorneys are telling him to keep that bargaining chip for when it is really needed.
Fantasy.
