 Popadopoulous - Iffy at best 
 
Flynn - Miscarriage of justice.  I'm really curious as to why. 
 
Gates - Not a part of the campaign, and his guilty plea is for things completely unrelated to the campaign.  We're only talking to him because those unrelated things also involved Manafort, who was part of the campaign, but has been charged with no crime related to the campaign. 
 
Speaking of manafort...he actually is charged with a number of very serious crimes, of which he may be guilty.  According to the evidence used as the original source of Russia investigation, Manafort is the one who had the face to face meeting with Putin and agreed to give Russia favorable treatment in return for some fake facebook ads.  If that's true, why doesn't Manafort play his 'get out of jail free' card? 
 
What could Trump possibly offer him to keep quiet?  Oskar's got his hypothetical roll riding on trump not finishing his term.  Not to mention the fact that Trump is a 71 year old man who inhales cheeseburgers.  Why in the world would Manafort hold out for pardon? 
 
The other guy who was part of that arrangement with Putin was Carter Paige.  According the Steele Dossier, Paige was offered shares of a Russian energy company worth $10 billion for his role in the conspiracy.  That nature of that role seems to be yet undetermined.  And it seems that Putin stiffed him cause he doesn't have $10 billion. 
 
Nevertheless, the FBI crawled up his ass for A YEAR and he's not even charged with jaywalking.
