Attorney Thomas Green told Law&Crime on Thursday that hes still Richard Gatess lawyer, contradicting a new report from The Daily Beast.

I am his lawyer, Green wrote via email. That story is false.

The outlet reported Thursday afternoon that Gates fired Green. People, described as sources familiar with the matter, said Gates would not plead guilty.

From the article: "It is true that Green is named on a court filing that went up late on Thursday, and he will appear in court tomorrow. It may take a day or two for his formal relationship with Gates to legally unravel, multiple sources tell The Daily Beast."

It is almost as if they are trying to make people not trust reporters.

1. If Gates is not cutting a plea deal, then there is no point to have Green around.

He may not be "fired" but he is certainly on his way out.

2. Was reading if he had gone through the proffer stage of cooperation that youre

Much more screwed than if you had held firm and not told them anything. They can use anything they found out against him, so I guess we shall see.

3. He is still hoping Mueller plays ball

Not right now, maybe not ever but Gates has the right lawyer if Mueller does call. Meanwhile the charges mount....
