WASHINGTON - A federal judge sentenced U.S. President Donald Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates to serve an intermittent term of 45 days in jail and 36 months of probation, saying that while she was moved by his extensive cooperation with prosecutors, she still felt some punishment was in order.
Jackson also said he will be required to pay a $20,000 fine, complete community service and continue cooperating in several still-ongoing investigations. “I greatly regret the mistakes I have made and I have worked hard to honor my commitment to make amends. My family and I appreciate your consideration for leniency, and I hope and pray that you will give that to me.”
Gates’ defense attorney Thomas Green had tried to persuade Jackson to sentence his client to probation, and prosecutors did not push back on that recommendation. “I am quite certain they are here to acknowledge the genuine contributions that Mr. Gates made to their continuing investigations,” he told the judge.He testified against Manafort, his former business partner and mentor, who was convicted in Virginia of financial fraud in August 2018 and is now serving a 7-1/2-year prison sentence. Manafort served as Trump’s campaign chairman.
Now let’s see the democrats.
Snitch 😠😡
Not sufficient.
This is wrong
Lie to the FBI & get 45 days ?
Not enough, unless he agrees to more continued information...
When will POTUS’S PROCTOLOGIST go to jail?
Another really good guy , Trump only hires the best. How many in jail now.
He got off easy.
Yeah because spending 27 days with good behavior, having use of your cell-phone, tv, jewelry, your own cell phone is harsh punishment.. He will be fine I think. Oh and Trump while were on the subject you really need to get rid of the use of PolyGraph fake crap mumbo-jumbo
45 days. Nice vacation. Still got millions stashed overseas. I’d call that a win.
comey is doomed!!
The moral of the story is never work for Trump, unless you want to get dragged down he's level.

Ex-Trump Campaign Official Richard Gates Sentenced to 45 Days in Jail, Three Years ProbationRichard Gates was sentenced to 45 days in prison and three years of probation by a federal judge less willing to reward him for his cooperation with the special counsel’s Russia investigation. Be best Does anyone in the Trump orbit ever NOT go to prison? Glad he's going to get a taste of prison. Should scare him straight from doing this again. I have a feeling he was very helpful. Time will tell. For now, another of Trump's swamp is going to prison.
