WASHINGTON – A congressional committee is investigating the circumstances that led to the sex scandal causing the downfall of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and whether the case was politically motivated.

The House Financial Services Committee seeks to determine whether federal agents misused their expanded powers under the Patriot Act.

Used their expanded powers? Spitzer paid to have his power expanded and got caught. Save taxpayers some money and shut down this ridiculous investigation.

I get it. If a Republican is caught doing something wrong, he's guilty before even being charged. If a Dem is caught, it's the fault of the Republican prosecutors. /s

It will only get worse in the next four years.

Politically motivated? What the heck. First of all I could care less abut Spitzer especially since he is out of office. I say don’t spend an extra dollar on this guy. Investigating him is going to do what exactly? Even if found guilty what will he get?

LOL,, dems resurrecting the politically dead, Spitzer will be in DC , asst. AG and soon.. The guy got caught down and dirty. Leave it to the Culture of Corruption crowd to save his sorry butt.

Was the “toe tapper” take down politically motivated?? Did they look into the expanded “toe tapping laws”??

Daddy must be spreading his money around! I guess they’re
too busy to investigate Charlie Rangel!

[napscoordinator]

lol. True. Wait. The Democrats aren’t done yet. He might be next. Of course the answer will be found to be no.

I was wondering why this committee had any reason to do this. Then I found out who the head is.

One pervert protecting another, Democrat style.

Spitzer was taken out because he was going to stick his big nose into the activities of some very, very wealthy and well connected Wall Street types. Arrogance and worship of power got the better of this clown and he was finally stepped on, just as he had stepped on a great many others...some not deserving of that destruction of their lives. It will be interesting to see how the left resuscitates him, especially as Barney Frank and company were paying off the same Wall Street kings who took Spitzer out!
