Book about Eliot Spitzer and Client Confidences

ADVERTISEMENTS

I was reading an article in the NYT about a new book on the Spitzer scandal (here) , written by his former employer/mentor/friend/employee Lloyd Constantine.  The book details various incidents about Spitzer's downfall, and details of conversations with the then Governor at the time the prostitution scandal came to light.  The review then says this:



He immediately called the governor. ?Eliot was crying and said two jangling if not necessarily inconsistent things,? Mr. Constantine writes. ?He said, ?You can throw me over if you want to, and I won?t blame you if you do.? And then said, ?As of now, you are my counsel.? ?



Does this not suggest that perhaps Mr. Constantine's book is both interesting and a breach of solicitor-client confidentiality?
