#2 So other than leading a secret life, lying to his wife and supporting some woman in London, Stealing millions from Manafort to fund his secret life, falsifying Manaforts taxes for him, getting caught by the FBI and trading his guilty plea for a scripted court appearance, he's a pretty good guy and the jury should believe everything he said because he is honest and ethical? Ya right....

#3 What 49Pan said. EXACTLY!!

Why on earth should the jury believe a word this man says?

I am not a lawyer; but if this were my "star" witness, I think I would have passed on the case.

#8 Were Gates a Democrat, he wouldn't have any problems. De rigueur for the Party.

#9 He has immunity. The defense called her m out on th mistress and asked if he lied and had four mistresses not just the one. He refused to answer. Nailed that coffin shut.
