      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 …

      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

          Rick Gates has pleaded guilty to the two counts in the superseding information filed today. Estimated guidelines for a sentence is 57-71 months, but Gates' lawyer said he reserved right to argue for less because of "disproportionate conduct" https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller?utm_term=.twpRbZvxW#.edbVGzPwZ …

          Not necessarily. It's possible that they knew and advised against making the alleged false statement — and then, when he made it, they moved to withdraw. @kramer_susan

          Replying to @chrisgeidner @bristolptd and

          Seems likely. He made the false statement 1 Feb, they moved to withdraw the same day. Timing suggests to me it was already on their radar as a possibility. If they felt they could convince him to be truthful, no ethical obligation to w/draw until after Gates makes false statement

          this suggests that his counsel (i) raised the misstatement with him and (ii) he refused to correct it. wouldn’t move to withdraw otherwise.
