Keep the hat. It works. As for the new gov, his tactics may not be all that exotic after all. The wind is at Spitzer's back. He bares his teeth first and compromises later when he has to. Prosecutors and cops do this. They hype the top count figuring they can fall back on the lesser counts when the deal is cut or the case goes to a jury. Ask for the moon, get what you can. He'll never have this kind of capital again.
