The people who "Caught" Spitzer weren't even looking for him, from what I read. They were investigating why public accounts were being used to pass money to shell companies that turned out to be high-end escort agencies. They traced the money back and found Spitzer at the end of the trail. That is the main reason why he is part of an FBI investigation. He used public account to, at the very least, funnel money to the escort agencies to feed his habit for prostitutes. There are serious questions as to wether he actually used public money to pay for the pros he visited with. That would piss me off, and I have no issues with escorts if folks are actually using their own money to pay for them.

I say it was a habit, because from what I heard he has spent at least $80 000 dollars just at this one agency.

I could have some of my facts wrong, but the investigators were not originally looking for a way to get Spitzer, instead Spitzer was hyper stupid and also doing corrupt things with public money/accounts.

I agree that Spitzer should burn for his hypocrisy. As Barney Frank said recently he never breaks a law that he helped to pass. I am just angry that he would jeopardize the work he was doing to clean up Wall Street. That he fell into the trap to take him out.
