Sounds to me like Cohen admitting he's way in over his head on this. He wants someone more familiar with the type of law that will be involved in these cases. Meanwhile he'll continue to inadequately serve as Trump's lawyer, apparently, to which I say good.
edit: Maybe his excuse is he needs to devote all of his time to defending Trump rather than himself. I guess.

"It is such an honor, blessing and privilege to serve as lawyer for the great Michael Cohen, who feels it is the greatest reward for a life well lived to serve as lawyer to the amazingly talented, blessed and all around champion of all he surveys, President Donald Trump the Great."

Every Trump appointee should be assigned a public defender unless they're paying for it themselves.
This has me in stitches right now.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.

People, it's just a routine.
Vice President Pence explained his decision on Friday to hire an outside lawyer to help him with the special counsel and congressional investigations of Russian election meddling as "very routine."
"It's very routine," he told reporters in Miami. "Very routine."
Pence's office confirmed on Thursday that he had retained Richmond-based attorney Richard Cullen, the chairman of the law firm McGuireWoods, to assist him in navigating the potentially difficult legal ground of federal investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
In fact, Pence's decision to hire outside counsel has precedent. President Richard Nixon's first vice president, Spiro Agnew, retained a personal attorney when he came under investigation for corruption. He resigned from office in 1973.
It's just a coincidence, folks.

Can this actually go on for an entire term? What a circus.

I know a lawyer (or anybody) who represents themselves is a fool but it'll never not amuse me to see a lawyer hiring another. It just makes me think of like a mechanic paying a mechanic to fix their car.
It's lawyers all the way down.
An investigation of this scope is basically going to require everyone at the White House to get representation of some kind. It doesn't really matter how far away they are/were from any actual potential wrongdoing.
It'll really hit lower-level staffers hard, as they are unlikely to get much support from the President's inner circle. Competent representation for this kind of thing isn't going to be cheap.
