Mueller's 'star witness' is collapsing under cross-examination.
False information, lying to the FBI, lying to the Special Counsel's office, bad memory syndrome, extra-marital affairs, embezzlement, he's the gift that keeps on giving.
Even the judge has had enough:
"He frequently used the phrases “It’s possible” and “I don’t recall” as Downing challenged him about inconsistencies in testimony he gave to the special counsel’s office.
“When did you start providing false and misleading information to the special counsel’s office?” the defence counsel asked bluntly.
Gates struggled so badly to give a straight answer that eventually Judge T S Ellis III was forced to intervene. “Did you provide false information or did you have a bad memory?” he asked.
Gates finally admitted that he had provided false information prior to striking a plea agreement. “I did, to one count, your honour,” he said."
