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.”
If that's true, Rush was a fool for telling Republicans to vote for Hillary in the Texas primary.
Who plays dirtier than the Clintons?
The GOP needs to run with this make sure everyone knows of this Democrat corruption.
If this story is true, his daughters are in for some tough times.
“Was he given service pro bono (pun very intended) in exchange for taking out a competitor?”
I like that possibility!
The best part, of course, is the hypocrisy. I don’t care that he’s a politician, but that he was a prosecutor and crusader.
I take great pleasure in this dirtball’s demise.
GUARANTEED republicans don't know how to use this, as dems continue saying republicans are crooks and worse.
While it's nice to see a hypocrite get busted (even that isn't assured given his party and state), I do feel bad for his wife and three(?) kids.
BREAKING-—He was playing john in Washington-—a federal offense b/c he used a cellphone——they got phone records——he’s under indictment.
Five years jail [max] per each act or phone call each time he crossed from one state to another, per Da Judge on FNC
INDICTED???????
This is too sweet!! I’ll bet he got caught up in some larger federal investigation of interstate money laundering etc. from this “Emperor’s Club” ring and there was no way to weasel out.
Say, does anyone know if Shrillary had someone steer ex-Gov. Spitzer to the services of these “high class” hookers? Or did he just find them on his own?
This is the guy we’ve been told had White House aspirations.
As a former NY.er I’ve followed Spitzer and could not understand how people elected him. He’s pure slime. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving politician.
Yes, he may flee to Phuket.
did he stay at a Holiday Inn Express?
$5500 an hour?? How is that possible? I thought the economy stinks?
Anagram for GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK:
FOREKNOWN ROVE ORGY
Coincidence? I think not!!!
now that’s truly funny
This all happened pretty fast. I guess the date in question is Feb. 13. Not even four weeks ago.
Indicted FEB 7th? But sealed. What does that mean?
He already did that.
