Spitzer’s Funds and Spitzer’s Friends

From the NYT:

A friend of Mr. Spitzer’s, who spoke on condition of anonymity, reacted with fury at the news that prosecutors appeared to be widening their inquiry to include money spent on campaign trips that may have involved trysts with prostitutes.

“At some point, this becomes piling on,” the friend said. The friend said that he would be stunned if “a judge or jury would convict a man for something like this. It’s very low grade,” adding, “Why would prosecutors pursue this?”

I’m not in favor of piling on. But isn’t this quote a perfect description of the way Spitzer went after Hank Greenberg and Dick Grasso?
