Three lawyers for Rick Gates withdraw from case effective immediately
...Three attorneys representing former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates have withdrawn as counsel in the case.
Prominent white-collar attorney Tom Green, who joined Gates’ defense team in late January, reportedly remains on as counsel.
CNN reported last week that Green was seen at Mueller's office twice the week prior.
Folks are saying the lawyer he kept specializes in plea bargains, so people are saying Gates probably is going to plead guilty and talk. That would make three cooperating witnesses.
The obstruction of Justice case has gotten tighter with Trump pressuring the DOJ and another insider about to talk to Mueller.
The latest witness to be called for an interview about the episode was Mark Corallo, who served as a spokesman for Mr. Trump’s legal team before resigning in July. Mr. Corallo received an interview request last week from the special counsel and has agreed to the interview, according to three people with knowledge of the request.
Mr. Corallo planned to tell investigators that Ms. Hicks said during the call that emails written by Donald Trump Jr. before the Trump Tower meeting — in which the younger Mr. Trump said he was eager to receive political dirt about Mrs. Clinton from the Russians — “will never get out.” That left Mr. Corallo with concerns that Ms. Hicks could be contemplating obstructing justice, the people said.

Pretty good.
Flynn still cooperating. Papadopolous still cooperating. Gates just fired his lawyers http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/three-lawyers-for-rick-gates-withdraw-from-case-effective-immediately/article/2647879

Mueller has put of Flynn's sentencing because he is still useful to the investigation.

Papadopoulos also delayed. Investigation will still be ongoing in April.

Hmm, remind me again Papadopoulos was the janitor at Trump tower, yes?
