>>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.

And on top of that, how is it that someone like Spitzer, who certainly is well known, slipped under so many radars???? Including Hillary's. ESPECIALLY if he's been doing this for 10 or more years! Eliot was tutored by Bill :o) Triff ..
