Roger Stone sent a letter to the FBI in November 2007 reporting Eliot Spitzer's use of sex workers.

So, Eliot Spitzer was breathing down Bruno's neck, and so Roger Stone went to work trying and succeeding in taking down Eliot Spitzer. First, he sent the FBI a letter on November 19, 2007, tipping them off about Spitzer's habit of employing sex workers.

Roger Stone called Eliot Spitzer's father to threaten him with legal action regarding campaign loans.

Previous to snitching to the FBI, at about 10 p.m. on August 6th, Roger Stone called Eliot Spitzer's father Bernard and proceeded to threaten him with legal action. Bernard Spitzer had nothing to do with Roger's political work. He called him out of pure ugliness and malice.

Roger Stone claimed Randy Credico broke into his apartment and made the threatening call to Bernard Spitzer.

So, with no other option left, and needing to spin this, Roger Stone blamed Randy Credico. The Washington Post relates Roger's rationale. Quote, speaking of Credico. He's been on Letterman. He's been on Leno, says Stone. He does an incredible impression of former New York Senator Alphonse D 'Amato. Okay, so his argument now, or his claim now, is Randy Credico broke into his apartment, made the call to Bernard Spitzer. Did a perfect Roger Stone impression. Under the auspices of the Spitzer people trying to set Roger up.
