Alex Gibney’s Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer

More about the ruthlessness and righteousness of Eliot Spitzer, than the incident that would tarnish his presidency candidacy but not his future in politics, Alex Gibney’s Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer is a formable account of an enemy’s enemies and surprisingly could have been completed without Spitzer’s participation.
