Scott Horton, in his latest bit of hackery on the Spitzer scandal, doubles down on his unsupported claim that Spitzer was the target of a political witch hunt by the Bush administration.  Amusingly, in attacking a New York Times op-ed by John Farmer, Horton writes: Even in defending them, Farmer acknowledges, as he must, that the conduct of the investigation failed to meet minimal professional standards.
