Will Disgraced Democratic Gov. Spitzer be Indicted sooner than later?

Beach man told FBI of alleged Spitzer sexscapades

BY AMY DRISCOLL

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer announces his resignation Wednesday, March 12,

2008, in his offices in New York. An analysis by The Associated Press of a

year's worth of expense reports for Spitzer's office and his 2010 campaign

shows little sign that those funds were used to pay for illicit activities.

Almost four months before Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a sex scandal, a

lawyer for Republican political operative Roger Stone sent a letter to the

FBI alleging that Spitzer ''used the services of high-priced call girls''

while in Florida.

The letter, dated Nov. 19, said Miami Beach resident Stone learned the

information from ''a social contact in an adult-themed club.'' It offered

one potentially identifying detail: the man in question hadn't taken off his

calf-length black socks ``during the sex act.''

Stone, known for shutting down the 2000 presidential election recount effort

in Miami-Dade County, is a longtime Spitzer nemesis whose political

experience ranges from the Nixon White House to Al Sharpton's presidential

campaign. His lawyer wrote the letter containing the call-girl allegations

after FBI agents had asked to speak to Stone, though he says the FBI did not

specify why he was contacted.

''Mr. Stone respectfully declines to meet with you at this time,'' the

letter states, before going on to offer ''certain information'' about

Spitzer.

''The governor has paid literally tens of thousands of dollars for these

services. It is Mr. Stone's understanding that the governor paid not with

credit cards or cash but through some pre-arranged transfer,'' the letter

said.

''It is also my client's understanding from the same source that Governor

Spitzer did not remove his mid-calf length black socks during the sex act.

Perhaps you can use this detail to corroborate Mr. Stone's information,''

the letter said, signed by attorney Paul Rolf Jensen of Costa Mesa, Calif.

The letter also notes that while Stone believes the information is true, he

''cannot swear to its accuracy'' because it is second-hand.

James Margolin, a spokesman for the FBI's New York office, would not say

whether the bureau had received the letter. A spokeswoman for Spitzer also

had no comment.

The letter was written several months after allegations were leveled at

Stone that he had left a threatening phone message at the office of Bernard

Spitzer, the ex-governor's father, regarding ''phony'' campaign loans

involving his son's unsuccessful 1994 bid for attorney general. Stone denied

making the call but resigned as a consultant for state Senate Republicans in

Albany.

Spitzer, the crusading attorney general who became governor, resigned March

12 amid allegations he was a client of a high-paid prostitution ring, the

Emperors' Club. Four people have been charged with operating the ring.

Spitzer has not been charged. A federal affidavit described a rendezvous

between Spitzer and a prostitute known as Kristen, since identified as

Ashley Alexandra Dupre, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on Feb. 13.

One of Stone's lawyers, Fort Lauderdale attorney Robert Buschel, said the

letter's release is an attempt to set the record straight about Stone's

possible part in the Spitzer drama. Stone confirmed the letter and referred

The Miami Herald to his lawyer for comments.

''The conspiracy enthusiasts on the Internet are going wild over Roger

Stone's role in the fall of Eliot Spitzer. We felt it was important to lay

out for the public exactly what Mr. Stone did tell the government,'' said

Buschel, a partner in Rothstein, Rosenfeldt, Adler of Fort Lauderdale.

Stone works as a partner in a separate public affairs and consulting company

with the same name -- Rothstein, Rosenfeldt, Adler -- in the same office as

the law firm.

''We trust this information was helpful to federal authorities in making

their case against Mr. Spitzer,'' Buschel said.

Perhaps they are waiting for the indictment of fellow

whoremonger (and GOP family-values champion) David Vitter

to happen first.

Lobbyist Vicki Iseman is caught up in a scandal involving Republican

presidential candidate John McCain.

A decade ago McCain's political career nearly ended in the Keating Five

scandal. Since then he has claimed to be a crusader for stricter ethics and

campaign finance rules for everyone but himself.

Leave it to republicans to vote for a crook. Crooks-Nixon, Reagan, Bush,

Bush, Mcctraitor.
