Spitzer Reportedly Using Governorship As Bargaining Chip In Plea Deal

Feds Raise Ante With ‘PMITA Prison’

As calls for his resignation continued, Governor Spitzer was reportedly locked in negotiations for a plea deal with Federal prosecutors.

Sources say Governor Client 9’s delay in resigning means he is trying to use the governor’s office as a bargaining chip and also to further solidify his image as not giving a crap about the people of New York.

In a special plea-bargain poker game that will be televised on ESPN, Spitzer is trying to bluff the Feds into playing a hand that will mean the Governor serves no jail time and keeps his license to practice law.

Federal prosecutors, the current reigning World Series of Plea Bargaining champions, are said to be ready to go all-in. Which, as one prosecutor notes, “Is pretty much the same strategy inmates will use if the Governor goes to prison.”
