NSA spying & politicized DOJ ---->target Spitzer

The story being floated about all the 'proper motives' exemplified by everyone involved in the Spitzer matter should raise red flags for all of us.

We know the NSA dragnet over information is more than a mere 'wiretap' --it includes all kinds of communications like text messaging and emails.

The DOJ has been thoroughly politicized as demonstrated in the US Attorney firing scandal, and yet this matter comes from the Public Integrity Section which has been exposed for its highly partisan actions against Dems v. Repubs almost 6 to 1.

And how do they come to be watching cash transactions into and out of Spitzer's bank and credit card accounts in the first place, only to discover the call girl connection 'by accident.'

THere is lots here to expose as to how this all came about.

ANd the fact that Spitzer nailed a number of Repub favorites likely played a role as well.

3. a perfect example of why
   
the dems should not put Obama in the white house.

Obama wants to (and has pledged to) play nice with the republicans if elected and will not investigate any of their behaviour from the past 8 years, including what appears to be war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The republican party needs to be totally crushed and Obama is not the person to do that ... indeed, he is in bed with them and that should be quite apparent at this point. He's no better than a mole.

12. Spitzer's BANK turned him in to the IRS
   
They identified some suspicious cash transactions and called in the IRS. The IRS investigated and turned it over to DOJ. He wasn't swept up in some illegal wiretapping fishing expedition. The investigation was all about him from the beginning. DOJ legally obtained the wiretaps.
