The deal involved him admitting to a TON of additional crimes, with the threat of his deal being thrown out if he lies. He didnt "voluntarily" reveal it-he was required to as part of the deal, and this is VERY common in these sorts of trials with a defendant taking a plea.
And the judge is just being a judge in a fast moving docket. The prosecution is utterly destroying the defense at the moment. There was even a real honest to gosh "ah ha!" moment when it was revealed that Gates was embezzling money from Manafort. Which makes it pretty much impossible to try and claim Gates was the mastermind behind it all when he had to steal tiny amounts of the accounts. NOT something the mastermind of something like this would do. And Manaforts defense team was relying on that to try and give Manafort a tiny chance. Thats gone now.
Manafort is toast.
I wish I could have seen their faces when that has revealed.
Actually the deception created and perpetrated by Gates makes him a jail house snitch in the juries minds....Here trust this guy...he was really close to Manafort and he won't lie about anything else.
HONEST.
It’s not quite the same, if Gates lies he goes away for years.
Big question is, if Manafort goes down, will you be man enough to come on and admit you were wrong ? If we were wrong, we will certainly admit we called it wrong too.
