From the site Albany.edu (wonder if the assistant got fired so the big guy here could wash his hands):
"Debate to Succeed Greenberg Comes to Campus The Recital Hall of the Performing Arts Center will be the site when the three candidates battling to succeed retiring Albany County District Attorney Sol Greenberg '43 meet in debate on Thursday, Nov. 2, at 7:30 p.m. James Acker, professor and interim dean of the School of Criminal Justice, will be the moderator for the debate among current assistant district attorneys Paul Clyne (Dem.) and Paul DerOhannesian II (Rep.-Con.-Lib.) and private practice attorney Mark Mishler (Working Families and Green parties)."

re Clyne. From my knowledge, he's a pretty straight shooter. Even had Repub. support for his candidacy.
From the statement in the article, it appears that he was upset by not having had a heads-up from his assistant re this Scott Ritter character who was emerging as a very public figure.
I don't think any boss would appreciate being blindsided by a reporter's inquiry, especially if that boss is a publically elected official.

In all fairness, however, the article indicates that he was charged, not convicted. SOP for defense lawyers is to ask the court to seal the record if the charges are dismissed or dropped, particularly if prosecutorial error is an issue.But not a case of mistaken identity, as Ritter claimed. The charge would've been dismissed outright and the record sealed. This wasn't. The case was left open in what we call in Wisconsin a deferred prosecution agreement (meaning that if Scottie was a good boy for the duration of the agreement, the charges are dismissed and the record sealed). And surely the ADA would've and should've told her boss about who had been arrested and charged. It sounds like a sweetheart deal between the prosecutor and Ritter's attorney, and for some reason, neither thought that the feces would hit the rotating impeller at anytime in the future.
How often do you hear of a DA firing an ADA with 15 years experience? Discipline, a short suspension, sure. But outright "we've cleaned out your desk and get the hell out of here" canning?
I think this isn't the full story. I also have this feeling that when the national press gets ahold of this--and they will--it isn't going to be pretty for Mr. Ritter. And that's a good thing.

This story gives a precise date of the arrest, June 15, 2001. I wonder what Ritter was doing, vis-a-vis Iraq, around that time.

I wonder if she is an associate of Soros?
