Months before New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned, a lawyer for a GOP political operative contacted the FBI, alleging that Spitzer had hired prostitutes while in Florida. A letter, dated Nov. 19, said Roger Stone, who lives in Miami Beach, learned the information from a social contact in an adult-themed club. Stone, known for shutting down the 2000 presidential election re-count in Miami-Dade County, is a longtime nemesis of Spitzer. His lawyer wrote the letter after FBI agents had asked to speak to Stone, though he said the FBI did not specify why he was contacted. Mr. Stone respectfully declines to meet with you at this time, the letter stated, before going on to offer certain information about Spitzer. The governor has paid literally tens of thousands of dollars for these services. It is Mr. Stones understanding that the governor paid not with credit cards or cash but through some pre-arranged transfer, it said. It is also my clients understanding from the same source that Gov. Spitzer did not remove his mid-calf-length black socks during the sex act. Perhaps you can use this detail to corroborate Mr. Stones information, the letter said. It was signed by attorney Paul Rolf Jensen. Another of Stones lawyers, Robert Buschel, said the letters release is an attempt to set the record straight. The conspiracy enthusiasts on the Internet are going wild over Roger Stones role in the fall of Eliot Spitzer. We felt it was important to lay out for the public exactly what Mr. Stone did tell the government, Buschel said.
Note: Roger Stone, the "longtime nemesis of Spitzer", is also a notorious Republican "dirty trickster" since the Nixon era.
