Ben’s entitled to his opinion but he’s got the important facts wrong.
Spitzer wasn’t the victim of a premeditated IRS “fishing” expedition. They were investigating the prostitution ring and someone recognized his voice among the wiretaps. Then and only then, did they turn their attention to him.
If I got that wrong, someone please correct me.
Ben Stein ain’t so old, he and Sly Stallone went to junior high together. Apropos of Barry Goldwater and Arnold, I’d like to know more about this wifey of his and her influence...
That is my understanding also.
They were investigating an organized crime ring and discovered the governor involved in a crime.
They acted entirely appropriately.
