Help me out here. Chang is in jail for making illegal contributions to Senator Tort.. and he, the Senator, says he has done nothing wrong and says there were no legal or illegal gifts. How can Chang be guilty and the Senator be innocent? Inquiring minds want to know.

I was just thinking the same thing when reading this article. How can someone be in jail for making illegal donations without someone accepting illegal donations? Answer is that Torricelli is above the law and contributors must suffer the consequences for their actions.

How can Chang be guilty and the Senator be innocent?

Doesn't quite make sense, does it? Torricelli should be toast but my bet is he will walk, without any censure or reprimand from the "Senate Ethics Committee".

Senate Ethics...heh, there's an oxymoron if there ever was one. And, by golly, they want to hold CEOs accountable! I hate the senate.

I've been asking that question myself and no one seems to have the answer. Quite peculiar isn't it, that the giver is guilty but the reciever is not.

Chang is a citizen and the Torch is a member of the Imperial family.
