No, you are misunderstanding. My theory is that this is the tip of the iceberg, and that there are probably several cover-ups of things Mr. Ritter is involved in...all being the reason that he changed his position.

This story has come to light from a leak. One theory was that someone in the DA's office or the clerk's office spilled the beans.

Thanks for the explanation. We'll see, but I have no doubt that if this story gets much play the Times cabal of Rich, Krugman, Dowd, et. al. will immediately spin this as "Did Bush Try to Blackmail a Critic?"
