Quote:A former top aide to Donald Trump's presidential campaign will plead guilty to fraud-related charges within days -- and has made it clear to prosecutors that he would testify against Paul Manafort, the lawyer-lobbyist who once managed the campaign.

Quote:The Oct. 27 indictment showed that prosecutors had amassed substantial documentation to support their charges that Manafort and Gates -- who were colleagues in political consulting for about a decade -- had engaged in a complex series of allegedly illegal transactions rooted in Ukraine.

Quote:One of the final discussion points has centered on exactly how much cash or other valuables -- derived from Gates' allegedly illegal activity -- that the government will require him to forfeit as part of the guilty plea.

There's only been one successful conviction of the FARA act in the last 40 years. It's Manafort's financial crimes that will have him in prison and the extent he went to knowingly skirt the law.

After watching that, I could easily imagine Podesta reading the following email and then hitting the enter button:
