      As speculation about Michael Cohen reaches a fever pitch, Judge Kimba Wood reminds everyone that Cohen, Trump, and the Trump Org are on the hook for half of the special master's expenses: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4511181-Cohen-v-USA-Order-on-Expenses-061318.html …pic.twitter.com/hVWGjGqgyf

      And, yes, I've been paying attention to the Cohen stories: 1. https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-cooperate-attorneys-leave-case/story?id=55861988 … 2. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-michael-cohens-attorneys-expected-to-quit-his-case-1528903379 … 3. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/13/nyregion/michael-cohen-investigation-lawyers-trump.html … Everyone appears to agree that Steve Ryan and Todd Harrison and the rest of McDermott Will & Emery are done after the doc review.

      None of the lawyers in the New York matter are making public statements, though, and there's nothing on the docket. In terms of the cooperation talk, it reads to me like a lot of background message-sending is going on with these stories.

      FWIW, Brent Blakely, Cohen's lawyer in the two Stormy Daniels lawsuits in California, tells me that nothing has changed in his representation of Cohen on those cases.

          1) add this to your summary: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-expected-split-his-attorneys-n882751 … 2) Why would Ryan and Harrison have to file notice in any case. That docket only covers the privilege review.

          Because Friday's deadline — if that's when they're done, as multiple reports say — doesn't finish that matter. The next phase is whether Cohen objects to any of Jones's privilege recommendations, right?

          Ah, I wasn't clear that meant they were leaving after Friday. Given that it's Trump's privilege, what would happen if Cohen just let him argue it?

          As for the question, I guess it would depend what the specific issue was — but Hendon might prefer that!

          Sure but then Trump will have to pay Special Master by himself! Which may be the problem here.

          Blakely must have gotten a pretty hefty retainer up front. I definitely would have.
