I can only imagine what other details will come forward as this moves forward. Spitzer is reportedly making a deal before he resigns, apparently wanting to go out without being indicted. He faces serious charges and I really don’t think the Feds will care if he resigns or not, they are not afraid of indicting a sitting Governor.

Court Documents Outline Details Of Spitzer Allegations

In an application for a series of search warrants in an investigation into a federal prostitution ring, an undercover agent outlines wiretap evidence involving someone referred to as “Client 9,” who has been identified in published reports as Governor Eliot Spitzer by someone close to the case.

“Client 9″ is accused of “interstate transportation” of a prostitute. However, neither “Client 9″, nor Spitzer, have been charged with any crime.

Last week, four people were charged in connection with the international prostitution service that goes by the name Emperors Club VIP.

Mark “Michael” Brener, Cecil “Katie” Suwal, Temeka “Rachelle” Lewis and Tayna Hollander were charged as organizers and managers of the Manhattan-based ring, along with their alleged involvement in money laundering.

As part of their criminal investigation, a federal wiretap was used. Spitzer was allegedly caught requesting a prostitute from Emperors Club VIP on the wiretap.

At just before 11 p.m. February 11, 2008, “Client 9,” allegedly spoke with someone at Emperors Club VIP about payment for the service of a “model.” The governor was allegedly told that the “Appointment would be on Wednesday,” February 13th, and the day before Valentine’s Day.

Lewis booked the “model” “Kristen” as “Client 9’s.” If the deposit arrived, she would be booked on a train from New York City to Washington, D.C. at 5:39 p.m., scheduled to arrive at 9 p.m. on the 13th. Spitzer was in D.C. on the 13th to meet with Congressional officials.

The claim says “Client 9″ refused to do “traditional wire transferring,” which led to the need to wait for the deposit.

At one point in a conversation with “Client 9,” Lewis asked if the correct information was with the deposit. The client said “same as in the past, no question about it.” A subsequent conversation among defendants revealed that the client still had a small balance in his account.

During a phone call two days later, “Client 9″ told another defendant that he had made a reservation at a D.C. hotel in his name for “Kristen.” The deposit arrived a short time later and the “model” was dispatched to the train.

In a phone call later in the evening on the 13th, “Client 9″ was told that his appointment with the “model” would begin at about 10 p.m. The client asked who it was and was informed it was “Kristen.” He replied: “Great. OK. Wonderful.” The client inquired about passing extra funds to the “model” to build a reserve in his account. Lewis said he would “make an exception” and allow it.

“Client 9″ told Lewis that he wanted to “think this through” when asked whether the alleged prostitute “Kristen” would have to give her name to get a key to access the hotel room. “Client 9″ referred to paying $3,600, which would “have a thousand on balance.”

“Client 9″ later received another call indicating the door to room 871 would be left slightly ajar. Conversation continued to suggest that $1,500 or $2,000 “extra” would be best for future service. “Client 9″ asked for a reminder what “Kristen” looked like. He said she was “an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds.”

At 9:32 p.m., a call was receive by Lewis from “Kristen” that she was in the room. At 12:02 a.m., “Kristen” called to tell Lewis that she was in the hotel room alone, and that the appointment had concluded. It had “gone very well.” She had collected $4,300. She said she liked him and did not think he was “difficult.”

Published reports state that the U.S. attorneys involved in the sting were not only looking into the individuals running the Emperors Club VIP, but also into wrongdoings of public officials.
