Spitzer To Pull A Bill Clinton

Published by at 5:42 am under All General Discussions

Governor Spitzer should have stepped down by now, which can only mean he is going to take his state and his party through a grueling and useless legal fight. Federal prosecutors don’t go after Governors without a rock solid case. Some comments here and elsewhere hint that Spitzer is working a plea deal with his governorship as collateral. I doubt it, he is in serious legal jeopardy and I doubt he has much leverage.

The biggest joke of all is the conspiracy obsessed leftwing bloggers. Their denial of the issue is pathetic :the top law enforcement officer in the state was breaking the law and letting criminals get away with it while he was prosecuting others for the same action. This kind of king maker attitude is how corruption flourishes. “Service me and you stay free” was clearly Spitzer’s motto.

By denying the seriousness of the crime, and by trying to deflect the matter through wild-eyed conspiracy fantasies, the left is just re-establishing their reputation and unable or unwilling to abide by the laws equally. They want to hold their opposition to the letter of the law but their people to go free on lame excuses of personal misbehavior. Earth to the left, breaking any law is related to personal misbehavior.

This arrogance is what a free people cannot abide if they want to live in a society of laws. Anarchy is the only option, since once laws are weakened by excuses they no longer apply. In fact, many people find joy in flouting laws. Anarchy is the dream of children, where no one has to live by any rules, but everyone lives like kings. So saturday morning cartoonish.

Spitzer is a man with serious problems. In defending him and making up excuses for him and blaming others for his problems, the left is a political movement with serious problems.

    Sorry Sooth, you’re wrong. Read the portion of 31 CFR 103.11(gg) which I posted above – attempts to evade leaving a paper trail in order to finance criminal activity of any kind are punishable for ANY amount! You are confusing this with transaction reporting standards for banks, which is a different matter entirely. To spell it out, there is more than one kind of structuring infraction, and you’ve missed the boat on the real violation here.

    I realize what pain you must be in – you’ve been claiming for years that high public officials are going to be indicted and forced out of office – Well, you were right, but who knew it would be LIBERAL GOVERNER SPITZER???

    LOLOLOLOL!!!
