Rick Gates gets jail: Team Trump mocked after yet another aide lands behind bars – despite cooperating with Mueller

According to reports this Tuesday, Donald Trump's one-time deputy campaign manager, Rick Gates, has received 36 months of probation after pleading guilty last year to financial fraud and lying to investigators. He will also serve 45 days in jail on weekends "or in accordance with the schedule of the probation office," POLITICO reports.

Despite the light sentence that was handed down due to his cooperation with the Mueller investigation, many on Twitter saw his sentence as just another example of a Trump associate facing a reckoning for corruption.
