Federal prosecutors have told a judge they don’t oppose Rick Gates’ request for probation as long as he continues to cooperate with them.
“Gates received pressure not to cooperate with the government, including assurances of monetary assistance,” the court filing notes.The memo said Gates “has provided significant information contributing to the convictions of Manafort and Stone, and to other investigations that are ongoing.”
"Since entering his guilty plea, Gates has worked assiduously to provide truthful, complete, and reliable information to any government investigators who have asked to speak with him,” prosecutors said. In their own filing, Gates' lawyers asked the judge presiding over the case, Amy Berman Jackson, to sentence him to probation. They cited the extraordinary amount of time he spent cooperating with Mueller's office.
"His time spent with OSC and other federal and state prosecution offices totals over five hundred hours. He has responded to three Congressional subpoenas and has been interviewed by Congressional staff. He has turned over documents at the request of each committee," the filing notes."While it is fair to contend that all his cooperation was 'required' of him, it is also fair to say that he embraced his obligations as part of a determined effort to redeem himself.
He also acknowledged"he assisted Mr. Manafort in some of his criminal activity, and in the process he succumbed to temptation and engaged in unlawful conduct on a much smaller scale for his own benefit," the filing says., Gates faces up to 71 months in prison for pleading to two felony counts, but could also ask for probation without opposition if he"fully cooperates.
