Should be taken off the books. It is an embarrassment. The whole thing smacks of a DOJ political assassination, even if Spitzer did break the law.

According to Scott Horton( H/T FoxholeAtheist):

Note that this prosecution was managed with staffers from the Public Integrity Section at the Department of Justice. This section is now at the center of a major scandal concerning politically directed prosecutions. During the Bush Administration, his Justice Department has opened 5.6 cases against Democrats for every one involving a Republican. Beyond this, a number of the cases seem to have been tied closely to election cycles.
