Criminal Lawyer, Example???
Q: As someone else pointed out in this thread, he asked for his tax attorney. Maybe the guy is well-connected and knows a great criminal attorney. Maybe Pop Warner is up to his neck in embezzlement or some other sort of fiduciary misconduct and thinks now is an excellent time to plot his defence for that problem. Or maybe this is a signal to someone in a greater conspiracy against the Palmer administration that the CTU is on the trail and the jig may be up. I like the last possibility because my speculation is that this season is about a coup d'etat and the bomb is a red herring. Last season, then candidate Senator Palmer blew off those in the power elite who would protect and guide him through scandal concerning his family. To say the least he burned bridges. And these guys do not take no for an answer. And what better way to reassert themselves than through a defence emergency. Now I could be completely off track in this Seven Days In May Redux speculation. But that's cool because this show can be so amazing in its intricacies and twists that I am in for the penny and in for the pound with whatever solution becomes manifest.
A: -While they play it as sinister that he asks for this tax lawyer, in fact outside of the dramatic context there is nothign at all suspect about this. While business owners may have several lawyers, they almost never have much of a relationship with a criminal lawyer, because they rarely need to consult on criminal law. In spite of what TV might have you believe, only a small fraction of laywers do criminal law. He would have a law firm, that might have a criminal lawyer, and he would reach that lawyer by calling the corporate lawyer he has the best personal relationship with (this is a personal matter after all) and getting that guy to bring in the criminal lawyer. However, smaller corporate law
