It has been reported that federal prosecutors will not bring any charges against former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer arising out of his involvement with a Manhattan escort service. Sensible decision, it seems to me. As I have written previosuly in this space, Spitzer is a jerk and a hypocrite, but his conduct, in my view, does not warrant prosecution. Of course there remains the issue of why, if Spitzer gets a walk, the folks who operate the escort services face prosecution. Seems to me that the feds should empoy their resources chasing real criminals. Like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
