"But what does it all mean?" Has Trump offered them pardons? Did Gates change his mind about cooperating with Mueller? Inquiring minds want to know! (Read the indictments)
BOOM x 32! 32, count 'em, 32 counts of Tax Evasion, Money Launderin' and Bank Fraud. Manafort's gotta flip or die in prison.https://t.co/32lFc7XPrN

1. Straight for the jugular: tax fraud for Manafort! And Gates "assisted in preparing "False United States Individual Income". Damn. https://t.co/rEK0Hjp4fc

3/ The only obvious reasons there haven’t already been deals with Manafort and Gates are the possibility of pardons or their unwillingness to accept the reality that significant prison sentences are likely even if they cooperate.

The new indictments show that #Mueller has *emails between Manafort and Gates*, swapped as they "doctored" .pdfs and .docs to defraud banks. #SlamDunk

Federal,pardons would not protect Manafort and Gates from many years in prison for their financial and money laundering charges once the states charge them for those crimes. In fact, pardons would mean they admit they are guilty. https://t.co/yOO5kJq7St

I’d totally watch a remake of The Odd Couple with Manafort and Gates.

The lawyer Tom Green who had been working on a plea deal for #Gates has reportedly been FIRED. It is not coincidental that #Mueller announced 23 new charges against #Manafort and Gates simultaneously. #ThursdayThoughts #Maddow #Inners https://t.co/P3ZChd1C7J
