"Client 9". Spitzer?

[trof]

CNN believes he is "Client 9" mentioned by one of the hookers in her affidavit. She describes a phone call with Client 9 about a 'package' being ready.

Aw jeez.
At least he was a john and not a pimp.
But things are pretty bad when that's the 'bright' side.

1. When are we going to hear about client 1-8 and client 10-1000?

Probably depends if there are lots of (R)'s in the list.

9. It does make you wonder who leaked his name and why, if he is not being indicted

As hypocritical as his behavior is, I hope that the 'person with knowledge of the investigation' is also investigated...

"Client 9"
By Paul Kiel - March 10, 2008, 3:02PM

The New York Times cites "a person with knowledge of the governor’s role" that Elliot Spitzer is "Client-9" in last week's criminal complaint against four people who allegedly managed an international prostitution ring for wealthy clientele.

The New York Sun reported this morning that "prosecutors specializing in government corruption cases are leading the investigation."

Below are the relevant portions of a search warrant request filing filed by prosecutors from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan (you can see the actual document here). The defendants mentioned below, Temeka Rachelle Lewis, Mark Brener, and Cecil Suwal, all are charged with managing and running the prostitution ring. QAT Consulting Company is alleged to be a front company used by the ring for transactions.
