Does anyone know whether or not Mueller has produced bank and income tax records as evidence? If so I missed it.

Hard to believe you can be thrown in jail for life plus because you have expensive taste in clothes and, for all the jury knows, could easily be just living well beyond your means.

Manafort is still scheduled to go on trial in D.C. in September.

Yep. It’s amazing that our government is allowed unlimited taxpayer’s resources to go after someone.

Basically set up to give them two opportunities to get him if they don’t the first time.

I don't know much about Manafort, but I know this (much covered in this article at TheMarketsWork.com: Is Julian Assange "Our Guy" (from the texts between Bruce Ohr at DOJ and discredited source Christopher Steele)

1.). Manafort was a business partner with Oleg Daripaska (Russian oligarch, close friend of Putin) and things happened between him and Daripaska. Money was lost, and it became extremely acrimonious. IT IS THOUGHT BY MANY THAT DARIPASKA, A WEALTHY, WELL CONNECTED, POWERFUL MAN HAS A VENDETTA AGAINST MANAFORT.

2.). Daripaska was/is represented by a lawyer/lobbyist named Adam Waldman.

3.). Lobbyist Adam Waldman also appears to be representing Julian Assange in some aspects. in 2017 Waldman visited Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London 9 times, more than any other single person.

3.) Adam Waldman also represents...Christopher Steele.

4.). Adam Waldman has, over the last year or so, been in contact with Sen. Mark Warner on the Senate Intelligence Committee via text messages.

Maybe it is just me, but isn't this entire thing a bit cozy and disturbing, all this back channel communication going on between all these people who are involved in various ways?

neither Gates nor any other witness at the Manafort trial has testified about...any alleged collusion

Because there wasn't any collusion.

Is it the judge who decides on length of jail time, or is it mandated by law?

Half a dozen high profile Dems owe taxes & no one is taking them to trial. So does Warren Buffett——lots of $$$$$$$.
Sharpton owes plenty.

Yep. Even the FAUX reporter put "Donald Trump presidential campaign chairman" in the very first sentence.

Moreover, Gates admitted that he was threatened with 290 years in prison by Mueller’s team –but was promised he could get off with just probation if he agreed to testify against Manafort.

So Gates's testimony has no credibility.

They know Manafort doesn’t have syphilis, he can last longer than 11 years, so give him a harsher sentence [/s].

He was never charged and acquitted. They declined to bring charges because, why? He was working with the Dem’s at the time and could have brought them all down.
