As attorneys for Michael Cohen rush to meet Judge Kimba Wood’s Friday deadline to complete a privilege review of over 3.7 million documents seized in the April 9 raids of Cohen’s New York properties and law office, a source representing this matter has disclosed to ABC News that the law firm handling the case for Cohen is not expected to represent him going forward.
To date, Cohen has been represented by Stephen Ryan and Todd Harrison of the Washington and New York firm, McDermott, Will & Emery LLP.
No replacement counsel has been identified as of this time.
Cohen, now with no legal representation, is likely to cooperate with federal prosecutors in New York, sources said. This development, which is believed to be imminent, will likely hit the White House, family members, staffers and counsels hard.

So...how does this work?
Mikey's attorney reviews all the evidence gathered in the raid and says, "You're in deep shit Mr. Cohen, we can't help you...you should cut a deal NOW!"

No. The law firm "complete[s] a privilege review of over 3.7 million documents seized in the April 9 raids," and tells Mikey that he owes the firm more than Mikey can afford to pay. As he cannot pay their bill, they can leave the case.
How much does it cost for high-priced lawyers to review over 3.7 million documents? That is a whole lot of billable hours.
The Feds do not have to win on the merits. They can just bankrupt their targets.

I like my theory better!
Just a thought........
Every time I've gone to my attorney's office, and proposed that he handle something for me, there is always a discussion of "how much this could cost"
It seems reasonable that Cohen's attorney and he had a similar discussion in April.
Besides, if "the fixer" wasn't over his head in greasy shit, there would have been no search warrant, no raided offices, and no 3.7 million documents worth of evidence.
I also doubt very seriously that Mikey is too broke to pay his attorney.
We'll know soon enough......

Truth? We're seeing the truth being revealed little by little each day.
Why do you believe that "Mikey the fixer" is too broke to pay his attorneys (according to him)?
Where did the $4+ million in bribes end up?
That's the truth we'll be hearing soon........

Like I have said many times before if they had even a smidge of evidence of anything they would have already used it. Regressives are having a complete meltdown over Trump kicking their ass all over the place. Its like watching a world champion boxer fight a high school boxing champ. Its just not right! LOL
Just remember all the info you get is from Regressive MSM with a propaganda slant. If it was a regular GOP candidate they would have done crushed them but Trump deals with these shits everyday since he was born. No mercy taken no mercy given. If you want to blame someone blame Obama for pissing Trump off!!!!
LMAO

Yes, you're still trying to convince yourself.....
Please try to pay attention, this particular criminal investigation is focused on Mike "the fixer" Cohen. He was involved in a bunch of greasy deals. Cohen himself expects to be indicted one day soon.
Where did the $4+ million in bribes end up?

What I do know is if they could have taken Trump out they would have. This guy has to be squeaky clean compared to the average politician or they would have found something on him by now.
But hey if it makes you sleep better at night to believe they have something on trump be the sucker they want you to be. Me I live in realville where I can see past the propaganda of Regressives and NeverTrumpers.
How long will they to investigate to find nothing before you see the truth that they have nothing and its all about propaganda?
