Looks like Elliot Spitzer has joined the growing club of Above The Law Democrats:
Former Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer, who saw his rising political career come to an end last March, will not face federal criminal charges for being a customer of a high-priced prostitution ring, prosecutors said Thursday.
While the most famous client of Emperors Club VIP escapes prosecution, four people have pleaded guilty to federal crimes and are awaiting sentencing in the case.
