New York governor Eliot Spitzer resisted mounting calls I find that very hard to believe.

That's the $80,000 rumor. Thing is, the feds know, and Spitzer knows.
He and his attys are trying to figure the best way for damage control.
But, I have a feeling, he is going to regret it.

Federal Agent: “Alright Governor, come out from under your desk, we know you’re under there”
Spitzer: “NO, and don’t try to make me, we are at war and don’t make me come after you”

used his Offices to shield, or otherwise benefit, the Emporers Club? He did eliminate the competition. I believe he used his influence and position
to protect this club from prosecution. This guy is as dirty as the MOB.

This morning I heard that “Gov. Kinky McNasty” (Spitzer) may have paid out anywhere between $60 to $80K for hookers, over a 8 to 10 year period.

"Mr. Spitzer won't resign until he reaches an agreement with the government not to pursue charges, say those familiar with his legal team's thinking."Meaning there are a lot of people in positions of power that he's going to open his files on if they persue charges.

Lets look at this from a legal perspective. The morality of his behavior is only sticking to character for those of us who have been exposed to him as a scumbag AG and doesn’t surprise too many.
Legally, he set up 2 corporations to run cash through to pay the prostitutes. He knew about banking scrutiny for large sums of money so he had 2 of these corps set up. He got caught when he was transferring funds from one to the other and realized that he should have had smaller amounts and tried to reverse what he was doing. Now, the Mann Act is set up to prevent interstate commerce of prostitutes and others. He paid to have the ladies travel from NY to Washington DC (or at least the most recent acts in February; who know what he was doing over the past 10 years and where).
He should be forced to resign, be charged with felonies and not be allowed to bargain his way out of it. He should have his law license taken away (not like Bubba who lost his for only 5 years but makes millions from speeches) and tossed in jail with the common criminals that he is. My two cents.

You completely missed it. Maybe because it's early.. /sigh
Check the context again.

My 2 cents says he won't resign. The media has already started turning this into a Republican vs. Democrat issue, rather than a corrupt politician breaking multiple laws issue.

I agree! He should not be able to “bargain” anything!!
