>>How is it that Spitzer gets to 'negotiate' with the Feds... Would we be able to negotiate anything?<<

Sure, plea deals in criminal cases are quite common. The prosecution wants to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of a trial, or wants the defendant's testimony against someone else. The defendant wants the most serious charges dropped, a lesser sentence, or other favor such as an agreement not to charge a friend or relative. Happens all the time.
