Roger Stone told FBI of alleged Spitzer sexscapades
http://www.miamiherald.com/459/story/465701.html

Almost four months before Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a sex scandal, a lawyer for Republican political operative Roger Stone sent a letter to the FBI alleging that Spitzer ''used the services of high-priced call girls'' while in Florida.

The letter, dated Nov. 19, said Miami Beach resident Stone learned the information from ''a social contact in an adult-themed club.'' It offered one potentially identifying detail: the man in question hadn't taken off his calf-length black socks ``during the sex act.''

(snip)

''The governor has paid literally tens of thousands of dollars for these services. It is Mr. Stone's understanding that the governor paid not with credit cards or cash but through some pre-arranged transfer,'' the letter said.

(snip)


The letter was written several months after allegations were leveled at Stone that he had left a threatening phone message at the office of Bernard Spitzer, the ex-governor's father, regarding ''phony'' campaign loans involving his son's unsuccessful 1994 bid for attorney general. Stone denied making the call but resigned as a consultant for state Senate Republicans in Albany.

3. Wasn't Stone involved in the operation that resulted in Dan Rather's "retirement?"

4. Yep. Orchestrated the Miami Brooks Brothers riot to shut down vote counting in 2000
But he's been hunting Spitzer like a jackal for quite a while.

Miami is *where it's at*.... Roger Stone, Jeb Bush, Orlando Bosch, Posada Carriles, Abramoff (until he took a detour to prison), the Diaz Balart brothers, Ileana Ros Lehtinen, Marco Rubio, etc, etc.
