Eliot Spitzer withdraws lawsuit against alleged Russian hooker

That was a quickie of a lawsuit!

Eliot Spitzer has pulled out of a fraud and extortion case against an alleged Russian hooker who accused him of choking her at the Plaza Hotel — less than two months after filing the suit.

“Eliot Spitzer, by and through his attorneys, hereby discontinues the above-entitled action without prejudice and without costs to either party as against the other,” the withdrawal notice says. The legal term “without prejudice” means Spitzer could refile the case in the future.

Papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court Wednesday say the notice of discontinuance was emailed to the woman, Svetlana Zakharova Travis.

She never answered the extortion allegations and no hearings had been held in the case.

Travis, who is believed to be the $5,000-a-night prostitute who once penned a tell-all about her life as a high-priced call girl, returned to her native Russia in February after recanting the widely-publicized assault claims.

Spitzer, 57, admits in the suit to having a “relationship” with the pretty 25-year-old and even says he made “certain payments” to prevent her from making their dalliance public.

In 2014 Travis posted a video clip on YouTube of herself singing along to Christine Aguilera’s “Genie in a Bottle.” She dedicates the song to “Mr. E.S.,” — a clear reference to Spitzer.

Dubbed “Client9” in court papers, Spitzer’s hooker addiction led to his ouster from office in 2008.

Spitzer’s suit included an apology email purportly from Travis. “I’m so sorry, I wish this night never happened, I hope no one belives [sic] in this,” the email says. Travis goes on to say that she has spent time in “mental homes” in “Russia, Catskill New York, [and] California.”

She also promised to send a certified statement saying her “report was all fake” and she had attempted suicide.

But then Travis bombarded Spitzer with emails, voicemails and recorded telephone calls demanding “hundreds of thousands of dollars, trips to

Paris and other valuable property,” the suit says.

She threatened to “ruin his life,” if he refused to comply, according to court papers. The final straw came in June when Travis contacted one of

Spitzer’s daughters via social media “to reveal false details of encounters with [her father],” his attorney Adam Kaufmann told The New York Times when the suit was filed in July.

“She also threatened to expose an audio recording she made of Mr. Spitzer in which, in response to her threat to approach his children, he became enraged and responded with loud, strong and direct language, the suit says.

The Spritzer still thinking with wrong head. You would think that he’d grow out of this behavior.

Pffft. You are not paying for the sex so much as you are paying for them to leave when you are done...

Our political elite is populated by people like Client 9, Carlos Danger and the Crazed Sex Poodle. They are all subject to blackmail. Maybe that is all part of the deal.
