Spitzer Prostitute Folly To Plea

Get this! One of the people associated with the prostitution ring that brought down Eliot Spitzer is expected to plead guilty. Prosecutors, however, are undecided as to whether Spitzer himself should be charged:

Several former prosecutors and defense lawyers said the movement toward resolving the charges against Ms. Lewis and her codefendants suggested that prosecutors were nearing a decision on whether to prosecute Mr. Spitzer. The pleas do not indicate clearly what decision the government might reach, they said.

Why is that decision so hard?

Book About Spitzer In The Making

What could be more juicier than the story of a former governor who previously busted up and prosecuted prostitution rings to be later caught up with a prostitute? Penquin group now wants to bring the story to a bookstore near you.

A book about the rise and stunning decline of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, co-authored by the makers of a book and film about the fall of Enron, is being published by Penguin Group (USA), Penguin imprint Portfolio announced Wednesday.

Peter Elkind, who helped write the best-seller about Enron, ''The Smartest Guys in the Room,'' is collaborating on the Spitzer book with filmmaker Alex Gibney, who is making a documentary about the law-and-order Democrat who resigned last month over allegations about his connection to a $5,500-an-hour call girl ring. The book's title and publication date weren't immediately available.

Actor Robin Williams should play Spitzer in the movie version.

What Is Eliot Spitzer Up To?

According to the New York Times, the former governor has a lot of things on his plate these days. Some of those things include meeting with his legal advisers, dealing with his father's illness and attending couples therapy.

The one that strikes me the most is the couples therapy. How does one go about rebuilding a relationship after such a betrayal? I know his constituents are possibly concerned about any legal ramifications behind Spitzers actions but I am concerned about what this has done to his family.

Whoremonger, Eliot Spitzer May Have Told More Lies

The 'House of Eliot' keeps fallen down. How many bricks will be left standing when we discover who is the real Eliot Spitzer ?

According to a recent news report, Gov. Eliot Spitzer lied to the public last year about his role in an effort to discredit a political rival and may have misled the district attorney’s office itself in an interview last year.


In sworn testimony, Darren Dopp, Mr. Spitzer’s former communications director, portrays Mr. Spitzer as keeping closely abreast of aides’ efforts to compile evidence that the State Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno, the state’s top Republican, misused state cars and helicopters, according to the report. Mr. Dopp goes as far as to describe the governor as enthusiastically issuing the final order to release Mr. Bruno’s travel records to the press.

Mr. Spitzer, by contrast, told the public — and the district attorney’s office — that he was barely involved in the release of the records and had been misled by his own staff about the collection and release of the documents about Mr. Bruno.

It is time for Eliot to release his own travel records so we can see his whoremonging activities. If he would have been like Stan "Pampy" Barre, III, he would have just performed oral sex on the prostitute and be done with it.

Investigators Want Spitzer's Campaign Finance Records

Federal authorities are seeking records involving payments to a political fund-raising consultant to Gov. Eliot Spitzer as part of their criminal investigation, according to two people with direct knowledge of the inquiry.

One person said the authorities had requested detailed documentation for thousands of dollars in reimbursements to the consultant, Kristian B. Stiles, who has worked on Mr. Spitzer’s campaigns since 2003 and directs national fund-raising. Another person with knowledge of the investigation said the authorities were particularly interested in hotel room charges during trips Mr. Spitzer took to West Palm Beach, Fla., Dallas and Washington, where he might have arranged to meet prostitutes.

Campaign finance records show that Ms. Stiles, 31, was paid about $6,460 monthly for her consulting work on the Spitzer 2010 committee, and she was listed as having been reimbursed for nearly $22,000 in expenditures over the last year.

Spitzer Case Prosecutor Described As Fair

The prosecutor, Boyd M. Johnson III, leads the public corruption unit of the United States attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, which is handling the investigation of the Emperor’s Club V.I.P., a high-priced prostitution ring that Mr. Spitzer patronized.

Mr. Johnson and his boss, Michael J. Garcia, the United States attorney, will be the ultimate arbiters of whether to bring charges against Mr. Spitzer, and experts expect that they will make the decision in a deliberate manner and only after hearing from his defense team.

Mr. Spitzer has not been charged with any crime, but legal experts say he could face charges of structuring, which involves concealing payments, and of illegally transporting prostitutes across state lines, an approach rarely used against prostitutes’ clients.

Prosecutors are also said to be looking at whether he used campaign money to pay for prostitutes, involved state employees in illegal activities or made unnecessary trips at public expense to facilitate his liaisons.

Did Spitzer Use Campaign Funds For His Sexual Escapades?

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Gov. Eliot Spitzer used campaign funds in connection with his meetings with prostitutes, including payments for hotels or ground transportation.

Prosecutors have asked the governor’s lawyers about the travel arrangements for three trips, including his Feb. 13 rendezvous with a prostitute at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington. The United States attorney’s office in Manhattan has also asked about the governor’s use of car services during trips to Washington.

The governor’s lawyers have begun consulting with a campaign finance expert who has long worked for Mr. Spitzer’s political organization to see whether campaign money was spent on the trips, including some as recently as last month. If campaign money was involved, it would expand the scope of a criminal inquiry, because it is illegal to use campaign money for personal expenses.
