Yep! And supposedly the number one person that should have his finger

For what it is worth, a colleague who is rather "connected" in DC told
me today that he thought Spitzer was being "targeted" for other reasons.
"The amounts of money the news reports say triggered the bank to label
them as possibly suspicious are too small for that."
But he's just speculating. >> Stay informed about: So, how does the Fed boost the economy? |

I read somewhere else that the whole story seems way too fishy, like he was
targeted for some reason. Like maybe they needed to find at least one
democrat after all of the republicans that have been caught with their hands
in the cookie jar, or caught in homosexual acts or pedophile acts or...... >> Stay informed about: So, how does the Fed boost the economy? |

Maybe another Republican's been caught in a public bathroom, the news hasn't
broken yet, and this Spitzer thing's a way of drawing attention away from
the NAMBLA contingent in Congress. >> Stay informed about: So, how does the Fed boost the economy? |

Good grief. All the damage control conspiracy theories percolating away

I can't understand all this wailing at Republicans. The damn New York Times
is sure as hell not a Republican newspaper! The headlines for the last two
days have not been 'Spitzer friendly'.

Pure speculation on my part, but there is an interesting aspect to
this whole imbroglio.
Spitzer busted some big prostitution rings. Normally, prostitution
enterprises like this are mob connected, if not run by same.
The two really big ones Spitzer busted were connected to the Genovese
crime family which specialised in this type of activity.
The other organization that is connected to this particular "industry"
is the Bonanno crime family.
In theory one could wonder if Spitzer was "protecting" his favorite
escort service on behalf of the Bonanno's?
In particular where he had been utilizing these professional services
for at least six years and quite possibly ten or more? >> Stay informed about: So, how does the Fed boost the economy? |
