  A torus of reduced differential rotation can form in the inner $\siml 10$pc
core of active galactic nuclei incurring a density enhancement that can account
for obscuration of X-rays in Seyferts when the initial inner core to black hole
mass ratio $\gsim 50$. The same density enhancement and reduction in
differential rotation can also lead to dynamo growth of poloidal fields which
attain a magnitude $\sim 10^4$G when accreted onto the central engine. As radio
jet models often employ poloidal fields as agents in extracting power for the
jet luminosity, we suggest that jetted AGN might require this poloidal field
production. Although the poloidal field would be originally produced in the
obscuring torus, jetted objects are less likely to have obscuring tori: The
poloidal field would only aid in powering jet emission after it accretes with
the torus matter to the central engine. Thus, only during the relatively short
torus accretion time scale could there be both a jet and and torus.
