I thought maybe you were referring to his alleged proclivity for “Bareback mudslides.”

Read my post #6

I said nothing about agreeing with entrapment, or anything else that snake Dershowitz said ... with the exception of ...

" ... Federal money-laundering statutes criminalize many entirely legitimate and conventional banking transactions ... "

This was no “vague and open-ended sex and money-transaction”.

For the record ... I am not joining in on your debate with ksen, other than to say you are 100% correct in your evaluation of the Spitzers of the world.


100% correct!

A FReeper yesterday predicted that Eliot’s friend Alan would come to his defense.

Two things about Spitzy.....

First he was obviously playing Clintonian games with his massive state security detail.

Second the guy would be totally exposed to blackmail.

So tough luck Al D.

What is an example of federal law criminalizing “entirely legitimate and conventional banking transactions”.

It is one thing for the banks to report large transactions but entirely something else to get in legal trouble for it.

Good Grief!!! The FEDS had NO idea of why he was moving money around!!!

Alan D. is such a DESPICABLE person he said he would defend ADOLPH HITLER!!!

Spitzer crashed and burned because he had NO RELIGION in his life, brought up to be god-like, BROKE the LAW to get where he is, along with his father, RUINED people's lives that he thought got where they were by illegal actions because HE did, and thought he was above the law.

He KNEW he didn't DESERVE to be where he was.

“Because we are opposed to someone politically we should wish something on him that would devastate his wife and kids?”

Let me think about that...

Um... Yeah! Absolutely.

Don't kid yourself. I'm pretty sure once the feds saw that the entities to which Spitzer was sending money were shell corporations for "Emperor VIP Escorts," they had a pretty good idea he wasn't sending money to bin Laden or drug lords. Also, as Dershowitz pointed out, we're not talking millions here, but a few thousand.

You just can't seem to get beyond the fact that Spitzer is a despicable a--wipe and Dershowitz can be a total loony in order to grasp this point.

Entrapment? He’d been doing it for years, and the feds had nothing to do with that.

Hmmm...as much as Dershowitz has been bemoaning his friend’s just fate on TV and in print, one almost suspects things are not kosher in this bird’s dealings as well.

Dershowitz comes out of the closet to defend a powerful liberal politician like Spitzer, but there are thousands of regular guys in jail for doing the same thing, and Dershowitz could care less.
