ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet with a high-priced prostitute at a Washington hotel last month, according to a person briefed on the federal investigation.
An affidavit in the federal investigation into a prostitution ring said that a wiretap recording captured a man identified as Client 9 on a telephone call confirming plans to have a woman travel from New York to Washington, where he had reserved a hotel room. The person briefed on the case identified Mr. Spitzer as Client 9.
Mr. Spitzer today made a brief public appearance during which he apologized for his behavior, and described it as a “private matter.”
“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong,” said Mr. Spitzer, who appeared with his wife Silda at his Manhattan office. “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”
Read about the Governor of NYS...or should I say...X-Governor.
Ha!
Greta is freaking out that FNC needs to "dial back on this".
Spitzer: "And let me be straight: Hillary was never a prostitute.....as far as I know"
Spitzer: we sought to bring real CHANGE to NY and that will continue.
If Albany was in Michigan it would probably be one of Governor Jennifer Granholm’s (D) fabled “Cool Cities”.
“A detailed FBI affidavit provides other details about the Emperors Club operation, which charged up to $5500 an hour for one of its 50 prostitutes, who operated in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, London, and Paris. The affidavit notes that one prospective hooker, who declined to work for the company because it did not pay enough, complained that a friend of hers had sex twice in an hour with an Emperors Club john who did not even spring for dinner beforehand.”
I bet it was Spitzer that was too cheap to spring for din din, lol.
Interesting timing. He refuses to endorse her and this comes out less than a week later
Spitzer: I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family.
His wife was with him.
It was just announced he was shipping cash across state lines to the owner of the prostitution ring! I think this guy is going away for awile!
Because Spitzer is not specifically named in the indictment.
Calling a pol a whore is redundant.
The donks will be focus-grouping on the issue this afternoon to see if they’ll make him resign or not.
High-End Prostitution Ring Broken, Police Say; 4 Arrested
I'm wondering about national security implications....
Unless he was transporting kids for prostitution he’ll get probation and the resignation and forever be called #9.
FNC’s Greta (hysterically): “This is NOT and indictment.”
Greta calls herself a friend of Spitzer. Unbiased reporting & all.
Ok, now Greta is saying it’s NOT an indictment....it’s a federal criminal complaint.
cash to pay for the services?
