More smoke than fire here. Story is, essentially, Governor hires some people

Spitzer being the kind of guy he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he ordered this personally. What if the folks he hired turn state's evidence?

He can't be so stupid to have concocted such a story to get the police to hand over the information himself. This just smells like political hack gone overboard.

Yes, I'd love for this to turn back on him and to have him sent packing - or even better, to prison. He deserves it after what he did as AG. But in reality.... lets just hold our fire for the moment.
