Lawyer Practicing in New York Admits Advising That Death Threats Are Legal; Eliot Spitzer Snoozes According to bankruptcyMisconduct.com

    NEW YORK, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A lawyer admitted to practice in New
York and Federal Courts conceded a transcript filed in court contained an
accurate portrayal of a conversation in which the lawyer advised his client
that it was perfectly fine to threaten to kill someone.
    Eliot Spitzer was the elected Attorney General for the State of New
York, with ultimate responsibility to enforce the law as well as to uphold
the purported ethical standards for attorneys in New York State by
following and supporting The Lawyer's Code of Professional Responsibility.
Eliot Spitzer has managed an office which rattled the boardrooms of big
business throughout the state as he delighted a skeptical citizenry with
numerous assaults on corporate misdeeds. Countless industries have had
their often secret business practices brought before the courts and thrust
into the light of day; except of course, for perhaps the most secretive and
lucrative "profession."
    Powerful law firms continue to operate above the law and beyond
scrutiny. Sadly, Mr. Spitzer's talent for appearing as a zealous foe of
corruption and wrongdoing ceases where brethren of the bar are concerned.
Apparently Mr. Spitzer believes every business is bad except his own.
    Do voters want an Attorney General who protects his partners and
associates while prosecuting only those unworthy of special protection? If
elected, will Andrew Cuomo continue the Spitzer legacy of Law Firm
Protectionism? What could voters expect from Mr. Spitzer as Governor?
