      KEY from @woodruffbets, though, actually is this: "[C]ontrary to recent media reports, Gates is not about to make a deal with the special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources familiar with the matter."

      So, it is key to know the what, where, when, and why of the breakdown in negotiations. It's entirely possible that CNN, LAT, and DB stories were accurate when published.

      JUST IN (and contra Daily Beast): Tom Green just entered an appearance in the DC case as Rick Gates' lawyer. Green then filed a notice Gates does not oppose his other lawyers withdrawing from the case.pic.twitter.com/LZmnVRyb0M

      UPDATE: Asked to confirm that he is representing Rick Gates — and about the Daily Beast reporting that he was fired, Tom Green tells me, "It is ludicrous and I am representing him."

      While it is possible that a decision has been made to replace Green — although he tells me the firing claim is "ludicrous" — he is still representing Gates, so he has not been fired. https://twitter.com/woodruffbets/status/966813036395794432 …

      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.

          Following new charges being filed by Mueller against Trump campaign aide Rick Gates (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/21/paul-manafort-rick-gates-new-charges-criminal-case-419685 …), Gates' attorney files a motion to withdraw as counsel. Possibilities include Gates not following his counsel's advice/being so toxic that his attorney just wants out... pic.twitter.com/ZLucErwhfS

          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.
