Torch had been holding firm up to now. Something has pushed him over the edge. I'm guessing that there are state charges hanging out there, and that the NJ Dems are giving him a choice of what to do about them. But if the Dems were holding something on him, why didn't they do this before the deadline? I did hear that his polls dropped like a stone after the memo last week. So maybe that was it. They thought he could pull it out. He can't so we go with plan B and really muddy things up?
The release of the Chang memo is what pushed him over the edge. There will be no criminal or civil charges filed.
