Idiot.
Side comment here. I don’t know how the hell I missed this connection as I was writing my last post, but it’s a big one. According to the newly updated Spitzer piece on CNN.com, Spitzer first appeared on federal radars when he was reported to the IRS when he transferred a large sum of money from one account to another. It doesn’t really mention how this connects to the fact that he was targeted in the prostitution ring by federal wiretap. It went on to detail the entire investigation into the Emperor’s Club.
The investigation into the Emperor’s Club, which began in October 2007, included evidence from a confidential source identified in court papers as a prostitute who worked at the club in 2006 and was given immunity.
It also included statements from an undercover officer who posed as a customer, more than 5,000 intercepted phone calls and text messages, more than 6,000 e-mails recovered with search warrants, bank records, travel and hotel records and physical surveillance.
All the aforementioned methods all involve the rights the NSA and FBI have violated in conjunction with AT&T, leaving the possibility that all this data was not legally and properly obtained. Beyond this, speculation still remains over just exactly where the supposed $4300 Spitzer spent on the prostitute came from? I’m going to guess that it wasn’t from his paychecks. I have a feeling NY State tax dollars were used for Spitzer to purchase said hooker. So, New York’s 19.3 million citizens, do you feel like you got your money’s worth?
I was talking before about how this isn’t a major issue in America right now, which it should be. Way more people need to be outraged and pissed off that this is happening. Our privacy is the proverbial doormat lying securely before our front door. We can see who’s at the door and choose whether or not we want to let them in. The government has pretty much marched into our houses uninvited without even having the common courtesy to wipe their feet on our doormat.

Edit – So apparently now Spitzer will be brought up on impeachment charges, and rightfully so. That’s not as interesting as the fact that he spent over $15,000 on all these hookers. Good work Spitzer (this is all from the same cnn.com article). I will post this article when I find it, but I remember reading that Spitzer was seeking abnormal and taboo sexual acts with the prostitute or prostitutes…that’s alot of hooker for $15,000 of what’s most likely my money anyways.
