The champion of fiscal responsibility, Eliot Spitzer, was finally nailed by his enemies in the financial sector and the government. Caught up in a prostitution scandal, Spitzer will have to resign as a result of a year long investigation by the IRS and FBI. According to the reporting financial institution, “large sums of money” were being transferred from several accounts into a dummy corporation account. The large sum of money was $4300.
From the financial institution to the Department of Justice, all were enemies to a Democrat in high office who tried to clean up the system.
One would wonder why $4300 would trigger such an investigation. There was no history of such transfers prior to this one. The bank was required to report suspicious activity the involved things like terrorism. Was the governor of New York a terrorist suspect? Of the names supposedly kept secret (client names were replaced by number), why was the Governor’s name singled out for release to the public? Why were details of the Governor’s sexual preferences necessary to release?
The answer is that an enemy of the state, Eliot Spitzer, had to be taken down. Like the governor of Alabama, Don Siegelman, he was set up by his enemies and cut down like a dog in the street.
