What did Spitzer know, and when did he know it?

[wideawake]

There is no way that Spitzer was not shepherding this entire scheme from conception to execution to coverup.

He is an absolute control freak.

[PissAndVinegar]

I’m sure when the ethics board, that’s mostly appointed by him, reviews this it will be all cleared up.

"Here's what we know, thanks to some enterprising reporting ...and an investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo"

Takes a crook to catch one.

Correction:
How many has he screwed, and how hard?
(My guess is about 19 million NY’ers)

ooops.... I guess Bubba’s advice on how to be a Governor didn’t work in New York like it did in Arkansas.

[Travis McGee]

At his core, Spitzer is a fascist goon who will destroy anyone to advance his power-lust.

[gridlock]

Wow! Eliot Spitzer turned out to be a win-at-any-cost bullying thug! Who knew?!?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

New Yorkers elected a thug. Enjoy the ride...

[ontap]

My guess is since it’s a DEM in New York it will go away rather quickly. I hope I’m wrong!

[montag813]

This is Andrew Cuomo’s ticket to the Governor’s mansion—and he knows it.

Yep, Spitzer knew and probably planned it. He's an "f-in steamroller" afterall and will "roll over anyone" who gets in his way. I live in central NY and worked for the State for 23 years. I saw people lose their jobs or be disciplined over less serious behavior than what Spitzer and his henchmen engaged in.

Glaringly absent in all this is the role played by Acting Superintendent Preston Felton of the State Police. This guy was appointed as Acting Supt. by Spitzer, and was more than likely in line to become the first black Superintendent of State Police. Attorney General Cuomo recommended Felton be disciplined along with the three aides from Spitzer's office, but Spitzer said he would not discipline Felton for his actions. My question is why is Spitzer protecting Felton? Is it because he's black? Is it because he was lied to by Spitzer's office to gain his assistance in spying on Bruno? Is it because he knows too much and Spitzer needs him as an ally? The only way to find out the real deal is to have a Special Counsel appointed to investigate the scandal in depth. I am sick and tired of State officials getting away with persistent ethics violations while peon employees are prosecuted to the hilt by the State's disciplinary system.

It's not the first time spitzer has sent his thugs out to do the dirty work

He actually threatened to use all the power of his office against Sean Hannity once. Luckily Seans producer had the comment on tape and Spitzer backtracked saying he did not mean it the way it sounded.

There is a thread of it on FR, when it happen.

This isn't unique to Spitzer - it's the democRAT's modus operandus. They use the left-wing printed media to smear those that don't agree with them, while simultaneously trying to silence dissenters.

If Spritzer is trying to use the State Police to aid in defeating his dissenters, then he needs to be impeached and those in the highway patrol that assisted him need to be fired and prosecuted.

[Roccus]

I wouldn't give a bucket of cold goat phlem for ANY of the actors in this drama.

[Redbob]

Keep in mind that the author of this piece, Senator Bruno, has an agenda of his own.

Not that Elliot Spitzer isn’t a slimeball - he certainly is.

[Inwoodian]

Spitzer is one part arrogance and two parts ambition. It is heartwarming to see the son of Mario the Pious getting a pit bull grip on his throat. They are both fighting to be NY leader of the young Dems.

[KC_Conspirator]

Spitzer is a fascist who needs to be put in jail.
