full title --- Christine Blasey Ford's lawyer resigned from his law firm because partners objected to his decision to represent her
During Thursday's Kavanaugh hearings, one of Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers, Michael Bromwich, stated that both her counsel are representing her pro-bono. Bromwich also resigned from his law firm — he served as senior counsel at Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP — because some of the partners objected to his decision to represent Ford. Bromwich, a Harvard Law graduate and former federal prosecutor, was known before this hearing for assisting the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair. During Thursday's hearing, Rachel Mitchell, the Arizona prosecutor employed by the committee, pressed Ford on the nature of her legal representation, possibly in an attempt to portray her as being guided by more powerful Democrats looking out for the interest of the party. As Ford attempted to address the key points of Mitchell's questions, one of her lawyers jumped in. "Both of her counsel are doing this pro bono," Michael Bromwich told the committee. "We are not being paid. We have no expectation of being paid."
What Bromwich did not mention was that he not only was not being paid for his time representing Ford—he also left his job at a Washington law firm where he served as senior counsel.
According to Bloomberg, Bromwich, 64, resigned from Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP, as some of the partners at the firm had objected to his decision to represent Ford.
Bromwich, a Harvard Law graduate and former federal prosecutor, was known before this hearing for assisting the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair and, more recently, for representing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired in March by Jeff Sessions

Resigned or fired?
I suppose now he wants a Gofundme
Thinking that if he could kneecap a Supreme Court justice, he would have Progressive street cred for life.
So they are both pro bono but there is a GoFundMe account with $700k to pay for legal fees. Whose fees?
His facebook page is totally scrubbed.
Must think he’ll be made Attorney General if, and when the Dems take over. That, or he’s planning on heading any investigation into a Trump impeachment. Scoring points being paid by Dems or Soros. Just another scumbag lawyer.
Hope he enjoys his 15 days of fame. And subsequently can’t find work.
He left his law firm over this?
Could it be, his firm didn’t want to be any part of the circus??
Just in case they had to flee the country ?
When a senior partner lawyer that high up quits his firm to do a pro bono, IT AINT PRO BONO.
Read something somewhere that said he is bankrupt.
Is this the guy who said it’s not up to her (Ford) to prove anything?
I would guess that if Bromwich ever has to argue before the Supreme Court, he's not going to get a very warm welcome. Especially from Justice Kavanaugh.
Did he expect the payout or did he expect the risk?
