Mr. Fisch sought to interview Mr. Spitzer as part of the inquiry and found him hostile, frustrated over his experience in Albany and with his legendary temper in full bloom.
The transcript of the interview, which had not previously been released, offered a window into Mr. Spitzer’s state of mind seven months after his resignation, and showed a side quite different from the one that Mr. Spitzer exhibited in recent interviews he has undertaken as part of what appears to be a public rehabilitation tour.
In the course of Mr. Fisch’s visit, the ex-governor lashed out at Gov. David A. Paterson’s administration, the news media, the Albany County district attorney and a Republican operative, Roger Stone, among others.
The interview was conducted at the Fifth Avenue real estate offices of Mr. Spitzer’s father, Bernard, rather than at the inspector general’s Manhattan office, because of the former governor’s concern that the news media was trailing him.
Mr. Fisch started by asking where all the reporters were. “The security people downstairs told me they haven’t seen anybody in a couple of weeks,” he told Mr. Spitzer.
