I was reading a story about who blew the whistle on Elliot Spitzer. The federal probe into the case suggested a Republican political operative provided the FBI with evidence four months before he resigned.
My question is "so what?" In a Nov. 19 letter, an attorney for Roger Stone, once a consultant to Republican State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, said Spitzer had spent "tens of thousands" of dollars on prostitutes using prearranged financial transfers. The letter was first reported in the Miami Herald on Saturday.
The irony here is Stone is a longtime GOP operative who resigned from Republican Bob Dole's presidential campaign when an ad seeking a sexual threesome with him and his wife was discovered in a Washington swingers magazine.
However, unless Stone forced Spitzer somehow to do this, Spitzer remains the guilty one. The intentions behind reporting this might have been self serving, however a crime is still a crime even if a shady character reports it.
Take all the high profile names out of it and what you find is a prostitution ring that is illegal and should be prosecuted even if it does not make the nightly news.
