And someone was bound to search find out who was "Kristen." Pic above is the possible prostitute for Client 9 now known as Gov. Eliot Spitzer. This is from the website:

I will repeat my question again: what about Clients one through eight and ten?
I had suspected that the urge for Bush to push for renewal of wiretapping to Congress had a lot more than just spying on terrorists! Check this out. Hat tip to TPM:
7/07: North Fork Bank in New York sends a Suspicious Activity Report to the Treasury Department about transfers in Spitzer's personal accounts. The "bank's report was triggered by Spitzer's attempt to structure a $10,000 cash transaction into three parts." Spitzer also reportedly asked the bank to "take his name off the wires." Treasury Department officials forward the report to federal prosecutors in Manhattan.
Fall, 2007: Another bank (possibly HSBC) sends Suspicious Activity Reports to the Treasury Department. "They showed that Mr. Spitzer and others, including people overseas, collectively deposited hundreds of thousands of dollars into an account of a company called QAT International Inc., whose business involved foreign accounts and shell companies and appeared to be vaguely related to pornography Web sites."
10/07: The FBI and the IRS-Criminal Investigative Division launch an investigation "focusing on an organization suspected of conducting prostitution and money-laundering crimes in the United States and Europe" -- i.e. the Emperor's Club VIP.
1/8/08: Investigators begin wiretaps of Emperor's Club managers.
1/26/08: The FBI stakes out the Mayflower hotel in Washington, D.C. “after concluding from a wiretapped conversation that Spitzer might try to meet with a prostitute when he traveled to Washington to attend a black-tie dinner.”
2/7/08: Authorization for wiretaps expire.
2/11/08: Investigators renew wiretaps of Emperor's Club phones.
2/12/08: Wiretaps pick up Spitzer (reportedly "Client 9") discussing payments with Emperor's Club managers and setting up a rendezvous for D.C. the next evening.
2/13/08: Spitzer has his rendezvous with "Kristen."
3/5/08: Prosecutors arrest four managers of the prostitution ring. Investigator filings in support of the arrests detail the activities of "Client 9."

Well the GOP got what they wanted and now we will see that the case against the Sex Club will be dropped in order to save the other clients from being exposed. Now the Sex Club can continue their business as usual. This was just to bring down Spitzer. As we see other Officials who hire prostitutes are continuing because their Republicans. Senator Vitters is never going to have to worry about his actions as the public supports it. Larry Craig is continuing to look for sex in the men's rooms. Yes and Mark Foley continues to molest kids without being charged.
