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.”
Wasn’t she standing right next to him when he was making his statement?
He stated he wanted to work on regaining the trust of his family didn’t he?
I know for me personally I would never be able to trust again.
This being media-drenched America, the hooker is now a millionairess. All that needs to be decided is what magazines she’ll pose for, and what sleazy reality show she’ll appear on.
"why he endorsed" her? They've been in bed together (ahem) for the better part of two decades!
Caught by Federal investigators via a domestic wiretap.
When did FISA expire?
No wonder the democrats don’t want FISA renewed!
Better question: Who's #1 thru 8? And, 10 and beyond?
C’mon people, let’s get the flashing Schadenfraude sign going!!!
Pleased to meet you, #9, I'm #6."
He paid to transport a prostitute across state lines.
He used interstate bank transfers via a ATM card to pay for prostitution.
He probably used his governor’s office to make one of the calls with the prostitution ring ringleader.
He probably traveled to Washington DC on the NY state taxpayers dime.
All four of these are Federal crimes. All relate to just one encounter with a prostitute in a Washington DC hotel room. They have wiretaps of him talking about prior encounters and an outstanding credit balance with the prostitution ring.
Add some “conspiracy to commit” charges.
Spitzer is done.
Why or why do those SOB’s drag their wifes, children and parents to suffer the humilation that only they deserves?
Thanks for reposting that.
You have a long list of Spittzy’s criminal activities which have been ignored up to now by the Ny Slimes and PRAVDABCNNBCBS.
Well thanks to the internet and Fox News, they can’t ignore this bs anylonger.
King is probably the only elected official from NY who is a stand up guy.
Note to the MSM: Won't help :)
Number nine is referred to as being “difficult”....
...it just seems like more than not using a condom....I mean, come on, this is a prostitute testifying. No one would faint if she used the words....”number nine didn’t want to use a condom”.
I’m not quite convinced.
Prolly be elected POTUS in a few years...........
this is exactly why I would never vote for Hillary. I want to elect leaders to office, not people who let others just walk all over them.
I’m not dumb at all, but what do you get for $5,500 an Hour...?
Screwed.
lol
