CMT:  You're quite right.  He was the prosecutor, not the defense attorney.  To me this makes his actions even more "creepy."  

He took the Bundy representation on a pro bono basis.  Then his firm started a Crowdsourcing effort to collect money for Bundy's defense.  Seems to me that the "pro bono" was a ruse to land Bundy as a client.  That accomplished, he immediately took action to collect money to "pay for Bundy's defense."  Let's all see if we can guess who might the recipient of that Crowdsourced money.  

I'd love it if a court held Bundy to his "pro bono" commitment and denied his firm any of that Crowdsourced money.  Of course that won't happen, but I can dream.
