3) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But in February 2018 he agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statements charge and one conspiracy charge.

Why did not a single person get charged for collusion or conspiracy with Russia?Surely he could have charged one person?
Was his team of goons that incompetent?
It was because they didn't have any actual evidence to charge anyone with it. And yes, of course they were also incompetent. His team was composed entirely of democrat "never Trumpers" , after all.

So I took you up on your offer. To see if I could prove you wrong, Supra.
I found this:

The charges against Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates center on a series of criminal allegations related to their lobbying for a pro-Russia government of Ukraine, not to Mr. Trump or the campaign.
Their arrests, indictments, and plea deals were related to them not following the rules about being foreign agents. Not the Trump campaign. This is not a collusion charge against Trump. This is lobbyists not following the absurdly loose lobbying laws.
If even NYTimes is reporting that this has nothing to do with the Trump campaign, there is no case, here.

Wait wait, hold up. I call f*cking bullshit.
Am I to assume feelings weren't taken into account when you made this post? Tsk tsk.
