How the Mighty has Fallen

I was not a fan of Eliot Spitzer’s tactics as AG. Instead of the slow grind of building cases, he frequently used threats and intimidation. I was not surprised that this approach backfired in Albany and there was a hint of self-destructivenes. But his cataclysmic fall yesterday is still stunning. I can’t help but think that one of his previous targets paid a PI to trail Spitzer and handed this to the Feds on a silver platter.
