Gov. Eliot Spitzer Caught In Prostitution Ring

Watch more of this stuff at http://www.theyoungturks.com

Federal prosecutors have unsealed an affidavit that details a rendezvous in a Washington hotel room last month between a prostitute and a client who a source tells CNN was New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

The affidavit does not mention Spitzer by name, but a source with knowledge of the case said the subject identified as Client-9 is the governor.

Spitzer took office in January 2007 after serving eight years as the state's attorney general, when he rose to national prominence as a hard-charging prosecutor.

He has not been charged.

Spitzer, who is married with three children, went before reporters Monday to confess to an undisclosed personal indiscretion, saying he had acted "in a way that violates my obligations to my family, that violates my or any sense of right and wrong."

He did not acknowledge the allegations, which were revealed Monday in The New York Times, nor did he take questions. Watch Spitzer's apology

His alleged involvement with the ring was caught on a federal wiretap, the source said.

The prostitute, identified only as "Kristen" worked for the Emperors Club, which charged between $1,000 and $5,500 an hour and operated in New York; Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida; London, England; and Paris, France, according to court papers.

According to the affidavit, defendant Temeka Rachelle Lewis -- who is accused of working as a booking agent for the club -- wrote a text message Monday, February 11, asking the operation's day-to-day organizer to "pls let me know if (Client-9's) 'package' arrives 2mrw. Appt wd be on Wed." Prosecutors say the message was a reference to a deposit.

On Tuesday, according to the affidavit, Lewis sent a message to Kristen, saying Client-9's deposit had not arrived but she should be able to "do the trip" if it arrived the next day. View a gallery of recent political sex scandals

In a later conversation, Lewis and Kristen discussed when the prostitute could take a train from New York's Penn Station to Washington's Union Station, the affidavit says. Client-9 would be "paying for everything -- train tickets, cab fare from the hotel and back, mini bar or room service, travel time, and hotel."

The affidavit says that, about 5 p.m. Tuesday, February 12, Lewis spoke with Client-9 on the telephone and told him that his "package arrived today." The client asked Lewis whom he would be meeting and, when told it was Kristen, said, "Great, OK, wonderful."

America sucks. A politician can f*CK up a system by external corruption (false war, wire tapping, bribes,etc) but keep their roles with power. A politician can do good to our society but can act on Internal Corruption (self inflicting, cheating on spouse) but will lose everything. America is as backwards.

It's so ridiculous to look up to or "follow" these so called "leaders". It's a very subservient attitude to worship a politic simply because he portrays this ultra self-righteous image. Worry more about him giving driving licenses to illegal immigrants or coercing state police into spying on his rival Gordon Brown. THAT is what you should be royally pissed about. But no women need a soap opera story to "inspire" them into a heated debate, pathetic.

Eliot Spitzer had Wall Street by the balls.

He was a public servant on a small salary with a chip on his shoulder about a bunch of legalized gangsters in Wall Street that were beyond the law and restrictions of common American citizens.

These f*cking geniuses the smartest guys in the room were on the last lap of taking small American investors for their last ride.

He would have stopped these Wall Street junkies but
