ALBANY -- Contrary to previous public statements, a report today says former Gov. Eliot Spitzer directed and pushed his aides to compile travel data damaging to Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno.
The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, reports that Spitzer ordered his former communications director, Darren Dopp, and another aide to release travel data from state police that showed Bruno used state aircraft on days he attended Republican fundraisers in New York City.

Spitzer had apologized to Bruno for his aides' conduct, saying they were overzealous. He suspended Dopp and transferred another aide. Dopp has since left the governor's office.

Spitzer resigned March 12 after being linked to a prostitution ring.

" Do you mean my post? I assure you, it's not spam. I hand-wrote it for this posting, then edited it and posted it to Two Cents as well, where more people will see it.

That's just the way I write all the time -- ask anyone on Two Cents. "

" Our most recent previous governor made his own grave by making himself the public crusader against vice and corruption, then indulging in it himself. Hypocrisy is a killer, but I am quite sure Spitzer is far from being the only one in politics.

However, I just ran across some info that makes it look like there may have been other motives behind his being singled out to have his private skeletons let out of the closet.

Three weeks before the "prostitution scandal" hit the media, former Governor Spitzer published a letter in the Washington Post about a scandal which directly affects a lot more Americans than his own personal escapades in a hotel room. Let's talk about the OCC vs. all the Attorneys General in the United States in their bid to protect home-owners from predatory lenders. Let's talk about who benefits from Spitzer being backed down from his campaign, along with other states, to pass laws to protect the people. Who benefits if the predators are protected?
