Client 9

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has been linked to a prostitution ring. I was a little surprise when I heard the news even though politicians involved in scandal is quite common in the US. After all, New York's neighboring states New Jersey and Connecticut both had their governors resigned due to scandal in recent years. But Eliot Spitzer was supposed to be a clean politician. He made a name for himself while he was an attorney general. He even prosecuted prostitution cases. Everyone now is expecting him to resign but he has not make any announcement. I wonder what is he waiting for. Some say that his offer to resign as governor could be part of any package over what criminal charges the governor could face in a plea negotiation. Does it really make any difference to the prosecutors in this case if they are indict a sitting governor or an ex-governor?
