So if You Donated to Eliot Spitzer's Campaign, You May Just Want to Bang Your Head Against the Wall Now....
| posted by Jeff Fecke | Friday, March 14, 2008Well, this would anger me if I was a donor:
Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Gov. Eliot Spitzer used campaign funds in connection with his meetings with prostitutes, including payments for hotels or ground transportation, three people with knowledge of the investigation said.You know, the sad thing is, there's probably a $25 donation from someone who didn't really have it that was used to fund Client #9's utter stupidity. Disgusting.
Prosecutors have asked the governor’s lawyers about the travel arrangements for three trips, including his Feb. 13 rendezvous with a prostitute at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington. The United States attorney’s office in Manhattan has also asked about the governor’s use of car services during trips to Washington.
The governor’s lawyers have begun consulting with a campaign finance expert who has long worked for Mr. Spitzer’s political organization to see whether campaign money was spent on the trips, including some as recently as last month, a person briefed on the investigation said.
At least Lt. Gov. David Paterson seems to have a good sense of humor. That's good. He's gonna need it.
