Gov. Spitzer linked to prostitution ring

First off if you will cast your mind back to September 11, 2001! Secondly, he was caught up in a run of the mill investigation for which they had asked for and been granted a court ordered wiretapping warrant.S.C. Joe said:
You have to wonder what he's thinking when his face is on the news and in print constantly....

There is now a paragraph in the story that Fred Zed gave the link for at the NYT website, which reads:
This is not good although I do think it would be a bit of a bit of stretch to indict Governor Spitzer under the current wording of the law:
The infamous Mann Act was another example of “Do Gooders” at work. It was enacted in 1909 as a result of the "white slavery" hysteria of the first decade of the 20th Century. The press fueled hysteria with sensational stories of innocent girls kidnapped off the streets by foreigners, drugged, smuggled across the country, and forced to work in brothels. Although designed to combat forced prostitution, the law was so broadly worded that it criminalized consensual sexual activity - the “or for any other immoral purpose” clause. Ironically (but perhaps predictably) the newly formed FBI (then just the BI) was unable to find any evidence of widespread “white slavery” (because it wasn’t there). Anyone else see a certain similarity to articles in the Toronto Sun and threads here on TERB?
Clearly Governor Spitzer should have scheduled a trip to Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal.
I don't particularly like the man politically (I have no idea what he's like as an individual) but I do feel sorry - although given some of his past statements he is clearly hypocritical, but U.S. laws on this point are frankly asinine.

For him it would have made no difference, like the example I posted, if a guy like Jerry Falwell was caught having gay sex-legal or not-his standing in the public eye would be ruin.
As for 9/11, I like to know how many terrorist have been caught thanks to these wiretaps the feds are doing? How come we never hear of any?
The feds are using 9/11 to run wiretaps with no warrants. They are also eavesdropping on e-mails.
Perhaps, but in Canada unless he was patronizing a Bawdy House, everything would have been above board and there would have been no ongoing criminal investigation to have tripped him up.S.C. Joe said:

Affidavit: Client 9 and Room 871

Published: March 11, 2008
It was after 9 p.m. the night before Valentine’s Day when she arrived, a young brunette named Kristen. She was 5-foot-5, 105 pounds. Pretty and petite.
This was at the Mayflower, one of Washington’s finer hotels. Her client for the evening had booked Room 871. He was a return customer. The hundreds of dollars he had promised to pay would cover all expenses: the room, the minibar, room service should they order it, the train ticket that had brought her from New York and, naturally, Kristen’s time.
A 47-page federal affidavit from an F.B.I. agent investigating a prostitution ring lists the man at the hotel as “Client 9,” and includes considerable details about him, the prostitutes and his methods of paying for them. A law enforcement official and another person briefed on the prostitution case have identified Client 9 as Eliot Spitzer, the governor of New York.
Kristen, having already passed through the lobby, with its wing chairs and its gilded half-clad cherubs, arrived in a small room in a quiet corner of the “Club Floor,” a special wing for V.I.P.’s. A king-size bed commanded the carpeted floor. Two photos — of the Capitol and the Washington Monument — hung on the walls.
As soon as she came in, Kristen called her boss, Temeka Lewis, who was the booking agent for the Emperor’s Club, an online prostitution ring, the affidavit said. Ms. Lewis told her that the client had arrived. He was headed for the room. An assignation of more than an hour ensued, according to the affidavit, which was unsealed Thursday morning in Federal District Court in Manhattan.
Room 871 had been booked under the name George Fox, a pseudonym that Client 9 had been using, and one by which several people in the ring knew him, according to a law enforcement official. However, a few of the prostitutes had recently come to realize who the man really was, the official said.
The affidavit said Client 9 approached the Emperor’s Club last month, requesting an appointment on Feb. 13 at 9 or 10 p.m. The appointment was to be in Washington, and he sent along what appears to have been a deposit of cash by mail.
Apparently, it was not his first time using the service. The affidavit captures the almost mundane financial back-and-forth prior to the meeting, quoting Ms. Lewis as telling her boss, Mark Brener, the owner of the ring, that Client 9 had a $400 or $500 credit to his name and wished to use it toward his next appointment. When Ms. Lewis spoke to the client on Feb. 12, the affidavit said, she told him that his deposit had not yet arrived and asked if he had sent it to a business known as Qat.
“Yup, same as in the past,” the client said. “No question about it.”
After these initial matters were discussed, Ms. Lewis reached out to Kristen, the affidavit said, writing in a text message : “If D.C. appt. happens u will need 2 leave NYC @ 4:45 p.m.” The next day she sent along a possible itinerary: Amtrak’s Train No. 129 departed Pennsylvania Station at 5:39 p.m. and arrived in Washington at 9. The following evening, Train No. 84 departed Washington at 8:35 p.m. and pulled into New York at 11:57.
Minutes after sending this text message, Ms. Lewis took another call from Client 9 and told him that his “package” had arrived. In a prior conversation, Client 9 had already told her that he had booked a room and had paid for it in his own name and now asked who was coming. Ms. Lewis told him it would be Kristen and, according to the affidavit, he responded: “Great, O.K., wonderful.”
Still, there were some “payment issues” to discuss. Ms. Lewis asked if he could give Kristen “extra funds” at the appointment and the client said that he would see what he could do. The agency did not like models to handle money for future meetings, Ms. Lewis said, but this time they would make an exception so they wouldn’t have to go through it again.
The papers quote Kristen and the woman who sent her on the job talking about a man believed to be Client 9, who might make requests of prostitutes “you might not think were safe.” But Kristen, according to the papers, was prepared: “I have a way of dealing with that,” she is quoted as having told the woman. “I’d be like, ‘Listen, dude, you really want the sex?’... You know what I mean.”

Yes, if in Canada-or wherever-it MIGHT not have came out but then again these young ladies aren't too dumb. A guy like him, can't mess around and think its not going to be made public!
This is a guy who just may have been a vice president pick with Mrs. Clinton. He could have ran for the job himself one day.
I don't understand how he thought he could get away with it

I sure would hope so. He spent $4,300 total, to bring her down from NY city by train. Paid for the cab fare, hotel room, room service-yes, they had room service
The big fact is he cheated on his wife. Hes a married man with 3 young girls.
I like to see him get charge with a crime, so we could kick back and see how he fights the charges. The biggie unknown, is what the lady is saying what happen and why.
