In addition to the questionable match up of a Torch fundraiser as the initial defense attorney to Chang :

a) whether Critchley is an Ex- attorney or not, isn't he still bound by attorney-client privelege? Isn't it totally unethical to reveal ANYTHING in a clint's files ( former or not) without the client's permission? How can he get away with revealing facts about these other checks in Chang's file?????

b) remember that when this whole thing started, Torch claimed Chang was "his friend" and wasn't going nuclear after him....it was only when Chang started letting assorted & sundry cats out of multiple bags that the "defense" strategy changed....demonize Chang at all cost...give Chang credit for seeing the writing on the wall & switching counsel before it was too late.

I don't know about (a) but it would seem so, but interesting point(b). Do you notice that when Torricelli's friends become political liabilities, he has no hesitation to cut them off -- Chang, the MEK, and the West Point guy... Surely you know the West Point guy...
