More Palin Smears

Democrats now following a lead that (they state) indicate Palin cheated to
win the Alaska Beauty Pageant.

Resign he will but just not quite yet. Spitzer cannot resign until he works out a deal with the Federal prosecution. What started as a State case has become a Federal one when the call-girl crossed state lines to rejoin him. This entire hullabaloo about impeachment or resign shows once more the media power in forcing an issue and its resolution. No one knows accurately, though pundits have a clear idea, what goes on behind closed doors. Let’s not forget that Spitzer is a prosecutor lawyer, who worked for the D.A. office, and therefore knows all the ins and outs of the legal machine. So, as soon as he closes a deal with the Feds, he will publicly give his resignation. Should he become an example and become the fall guy, the Feds will take their sweet time in negotiating a deal, by which time he might be impeached leaving way to the Feds to prosecute him to the full extent of the law.

Sex and money trail bring Gov. Spitzer down. Several cash payments from various banks to a prostitution ring set the alarm that the IRS was more than willing to stand up to and which led to court-ordered wire-taps. Known as “client # 9″ the taps recorded his conversation regarding hours and money credits to his account with the call-girl ring. This is the proof need to determine that Spitzer committed State and Federal offense with his trysts. This scandal is shaking New York to its core: how can a man who built his reputation and career into excising corruption fall head first in it? Yet he did. For a man nicknamed the “Sheriff of Wall Street,” and recognized by Time magazine as the “Crusade of the Year,” his downfall is even more vertiginous. As soon as he works out a deal with the Feds, he will most likely resign. Unfortunately, this will not be the end of his troubles. He will surely be made an example of to all who think they can outsmart the law.
