Spitzer is identified as "Client 9" which makes me wonder exactly how many rich and powerful other got themselves caught in this. Could be a lot of people sweating bullets tonight. It they got Spitzer, who else is going to fall?
If nobody else falls, that would suggest Spitzer was being targeted.
The NY media is reporting that they caught him on a federal wire tap over the course of the last two months. It's also being reported that he has been indicted.
