G.O.P. Consultant Says He Reported Spitzer Trysts in 2007
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/24/nyregion/24spitzer.html?hp

A Republican political consultant said on Sunday that his lawyers wrote a letter to the F.B.I. in November stating that Gov. Eliot Spitzer had patronized high-priced prostitutes during trips to Florida.

But the consultant, Roger J. Stone Jr., said he did not know whether the letter played any role in helping investigators link Mr. Spitzer to a prostitution ring.

An affidavit filed in federal court in Manhattan in the prostitution case said that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the I.R.S. began investigating the prostitution ring, the Emperor’s Club V.I.P., in October as part of an inquiry of Mr. Spitzer that began last summer when a bank reported what seemed to be suspicious transactions involving Mr. Spitzer.

...wonder when it will take the MSM to pick up on this.

I guess it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

5. This is the first I've seen in the so-called MSM that questions the
original storyline, that it was just chance that they came across his back records. the question now is: will they pursue this and see where it leads?

6. If Stone was stating the truth that he contacted the FBI in November, and if he was the reason

behind Spitzer's investigation, does that mean the FBI is lying as to when their investigation started? Or visa versa. Is Stone lying?

Irregardless, why the hell would the FBI want to investigate someone using the services of prostitutes?

"Who is Roger Stone, the Long-Time R Dirty-Trickster and Miami Mob Leader?"
