Another high profile politician hit by a scandal! Although not in a similar manner that DATUK SERI DR. CHUA SOI LEK was caught, U.S. Senator, ELIOT SPITZER still has a lot to justify to his wife about his involvement with top prostitution agency in AMERICA! I know some of you may not give a rat’s ass about this story, but it does provide some warning to top politicians in MALAYSIA who have been busy buying spycamera detectors after DR. CHUA’s scandal! The disclosure of Mr. Spitzer’s involvement with the prostitution operation threatened to end his career and turned ALBANY’s political world upside down.
His involvement came to light in court papers filed last week, the officials said, as federal prosecutors charged four people with operating the service, Emperor’s Club V.I.P. Mr. Spitzer was caught on a federal wiretap discussing payments and arranging to meet a prostitute in a Washington hotel room last month. The affidavit, which did not identify Mr. Spitzer by name, indicated that he had used the prostitution service before, although it was not clear how often.
Mr. Spitzer, 48, appeared briefly with his wife at his Manhattan office on Monday to apologize, but did not specifically address any involvement with the ring. He said he needed to repair his relationship with his family and decide what was best for the state, but he declined to take questions, leaving after barely a minute.
“I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong,†the governor said. “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.â€
“I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family.â€
The governor, a Democrat in his first term, then returned to his apartment on Fifth Avenue, where news vans and police cars clogged traffic. Mr. Spitzer did not emerge overnight and did not appear early Tuesday for his regular morning jog.
The New York Times began investigating Mr. Spitzer’s possible involvement with a prostitution ring on Friday, the day after the prosecutors arrested the four people on charges of helping run the Emperor’s Club. After inquiries from The Times over the weekend and on Monday, the governor canceled his public schedule. An hour after The Times published a report on its Web site saying Mr. Spitzer had been linked to the ring, the governor made his statement.
The news was met with disbelief and shock in Albany, a capital accustomed to scandal. Some legislative assistants said they were too stunned to speak, and lawmakers gathered around television sets in hushed offices, trying to make sense of what had happened.
“We’re at a total standstill,†said Keith L. T. Wright, a Democratic assemblyman from Harlem. “Everybody is stunned. Everybody is absolutely stunned.â€
MESS CONTROLL - ELLIOT SPITZER AND WIFE, SLIDA
Mr. Spitzer has not been charged with a crime. But one law enforcement official who has been briefed on the case said that Mr. Spitzer’s lawyers would probably meet soon with federal prosecutors to discuss any possible legal exposure. The official said the discussions were likely to focus not on prostitution, but on how it was paid for: Whether the payments from Mr. Spitzer to the service were made in a way to conceal their purpose and source. That could amount to a crime called structuring, which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison. The governor learned that he had been implicated in the prostitution inquiry when a federal official contacted his office on Friday, according to the person briefed on the case. On Saturday night, he attended the Gridiron Club annual dinner, a political roast put on by Washington journalists, and appeared ebullient, according to people in attendance.
