        depends why they are bailing out..... Hypothetically it could be conflict of interest? Names could be coming up of other people they are lawyers for, but it never is good when your lawyer quits

        Unless he’s cutting a plea deal. Then, he only needs one attorney as the others aren’t needed.

        correct. I don't know anything on the lawyers that were working for him the ? would be did they bring on the plea bargaining lawyer or did Gates? If Gates did, it means he is going around his lawyers to make a plea

        From the reporting I heard, he was already there. Sounds like he cut the ones loose he no longer needed.

        Okay, so if it was just that he didn't need them because of a plea deal and hiring Green, then why would it be the lawyers who are *leaving* that asked for their reasons to be court sealed? You would think it would be Green asking for that--or Mueller.

        Could be either, the reason I think it could be conflict of interest is because thatd be a reason to seal it..... Gates is talking names that they represent

        Bet your life this guy thinks he can represent himself. Seth Abramson did a live tweet of a read of Gates' testimony before congress. It was astounding.

        This looks really bad for Gates and Manafort.

        Manafort is directly responsible for the RuSSian murder of thousands of Ukrainians. I hope his remaining life and then his death will be as horrible as possible. Preferably in a Ukrainian prison.

        What is notable is that the only remaining attorney specializes in plea deals. Seems to me that Gates sees the writing on the wall and is merely cutting back on billable attorney fees.

        I guess this explains why Mueller recently asked the court to push back Manafort's trial date? If Gates is going to plead, then maybe they get another shot at flipping Manafort?
