Reply #2: I think you need to ask Spitzer, himself, that.

A wiretap allegedly recorded the setting up of a Washington, D.C., appointment between him and an Emperors Club "model." Spitzer may have made his name going after Wall Street gluttony, but he had a long history with criminal cases involving wiretaps, from his 1992 Gambino "mob tax" prosecution based on taped phone conversations to his 2004 calls for the FCC to let prosecutors tap internet phones and intercept text or picture messages on cell phones. Spitzer himself said that New York State does about 30% of the nation's wiretaps, and he helped make it a powerful weapon in the prosecutors' arsenal. If the charges are true, why would he think he was immune from such techniques? Another irony.

You know, it just is what it is and he screwed up big time and there's no other way it can be spun.
