As pointed out by
@nycsouthpaw, Gates' initial lawyers' motion to withdraw immediately due to "irreconcilable differences ... which make our effective representation of the client impossible" was filed the day Gates is accused of making the false statement to Mueller's team.pic.twitter.com/NLDKwbTL1q

Here’s our running report at
@BuzzFeedNews on today’s coming guilty plea from Rick Gates — and a count that alleges Gates lied in 2018 about a 2013 meeting Paul Manafort held with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller …Show this thread -

Paul Manafort maintains his innocence in a new statement. "For reasons yet to surface," Manafort adds, Gates "chose" not to continue fighting. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller?utm_term=.xnrD95pXy#.ewDGMaLrq …pic.twitter.com/AUJO9gbDI0

He has to file a motion to withdraw if fired. A lawyer can be fired by a client but still have a duty to represent them until a court gives permission to withdraw. A lawyer, as an officer of the court, is beholden to the court as well as the client.
-
I am very well aware, thanks. More than that, and as I have said elsewhere, this would be a very odd situation indeed, as he did not enter an appearance in the case until *after* Betsy reported that he had been fired.
-
Yeah, that’s a little odd. Plus the logic of firing Green makes little sense. He’s one of the few lawyers with the experience to navigate the space the Team Trump defendants are in.

Motion to withdraw as counsel was reported this morning:https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/966760593322541058 …
-
No, Leah. This is the motion to withdraw from Gates' (now) FORMER three attorneys that led Green to make an appearance this afternoon and then file that Gates didn't oppose their withdrawal.
-
That withdrawal has been granted and the hearing was canceled.
-
Thanks for clarifying, Chris. Damned hard to keep up with this slate of villains, tbh.
