Feds Nail Down Case Against Spitzer

Posted Jun 10, 08 12:05 PM CDT in US,  Crime & Courts,  Gossip 

(Newser) – The case against Eliot Spitzer is so strong that prosecutors have decided not to strike a deal with the head of the disgraced ex-governor's preferred call girl ring, the New York Post reports. Rather than making a plea agreement, the Emperors Club VIP honcho will plead guilty Thursday. Meanwhile, the feds are probing whether Spitzer used campaign funds to pay for his $4,000-an-hour trysts.
