WASHINGTON

At least two prominent law firms have made it clear they will not represent former Trump Organization lawyer Michael D. Cohen as he searches for a new legal team ahead of expected indictments, sources familiar with the interactions tell McClatchy.

[...]

A lawyer who turned down overtures from Cohen’s camp said he did so because he wasn’t experienced in plea deals, which he said was one of the areas of strength Cohen had been seeking in new legal representation.

Looks like he is going to sing, but it also looks like he is trying to cut costs. I'm guessing his previous legal representation was starting to get pricey.

yeah a hi profile case lawyer isn't always as well versed on plea deals, especially ones with this much at stake. shaking up his legal team now that they aren't going to try and fight every charge is expected. but yes, mueller also seems to be using the old drag it out until they're broke strategy.

So are his inlaws. They're trying to unload their condos at trump's hotel. Hope they have fire and life insurance, the last guy that tried to sell his trump hotel condo died in a fire. Said he couldn't even give the property away.

Cohen is planning to hire Guy Petrillo, a former chief of the criminal division of the US attorney's office in Manhattan and an experienced trial lawyer, a source familiar confirmed
