:New York Escorts Today!

Manhattan district attorney investigators learned of Francis’ involvement with Gristina only after seeing the photo in the New York Post alongside an exclusive jailhouse interview with the alleged madam, in which she revealed that prosecutors were desperately seeking dirt on 10 New York City powerbrokers.
Now the district attorney is scrambling to determine whether Francis helped provide some of the law-enforcement protection she had bragged about on wiretaps.
Prosecutors have said Gristina, a 44-year-old mother of four, insisted she had friends in high places, including cops, FBI agents and politicians.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office was caught flat-footed by Francis’ involvement with Gristina despite having investigated her for five years, sources said.
“They just found out about this,” a law-enforcement source said.
The source said prosecutors are in “circle-the-wagons” mode as they probe Francis’ relationship with the woman they are accusing of running a 15-year escort service for the rich and famous on the Upper East Side.

Any reasons for the close proximity of Ms. Gristina and the man remained immediately unclear on Friday. And Mr. Francis, on a Facebook page on which he listed himself as having “worked at” the New York Police Department, did nothing to shed light on how he knew Ms. Gristina or why he was seated with her. “Nice photo of me from back in the day,” was a comment posted on the page along with a link to the tabloid article and its photo. A little while later, a person commented on the posting, writing, “I knew it was you fredo … lol.”
A Post story today explains that the DA’s office had no idea that Francis was connected to Gristina:
“They just found out about this,” said a law-enforcement source.
The source said prosecutors are in “circle-the-wagons” mode as they probe Francis’ relationship with the woman they are accusing of running a 15-year escort service for the rich and famous.

It was only after Francis’ picture appeared in The Post today that Manhattan DA investigators realized his connection to Gristina, a law-enforcement source said.
“They just found out about this,” the source said, adding that the DA’s office was no in “circle-the-wagons” mode over revelations that someone previously inside the office had dealings with the woman accused of running a 15-year-long illegal escort service that catered to the ultra-rich.

Who Was Protecting the ‘Wall Streeter’ Brothel?
The latest reports about Anna Gristina, the self-styled “hockey mom” accused of running an Upper East Side prostitution ring, seem to make it very clear that she has connections high up in law enforcement.
Irma Nici, who has previously claimed to have slept with David Beckham and Eliot Spitzer, worked for Gristina for six months in 2002 and told The Post that the mother of four “laughed” when other escort services went down.
“She always did say she had someone giving her a heads up,” the Bosnian brunette revealed to The Post.
“When Fleur de Elite [a competing brothel run by another madam] was busted, she was laughing because she had inside information.”
Palmeri quotes Kristin Davis, a former madam who claims to have had Eliot Spitzer as a client, saying Gristina must have had some form of official protection.

SPITZER TIPPED OFF MADAM TO INVESTIGATION
The Manhattan-based madam, Anna Gristina, arrested last week for running a high-end escort service was warned of an impending crackdown on escort services by her client Attorney General Elliot Spitzer in 2005.
Kristin Davis, who ran a Manhattan call-girl service used by disgraced former Gov. Spitzer, said she shared a booker, Winnie Wong, with Gristina.
Davis said she once spoke to Wong, who told her that Spitzer alerted Gristina to a 2005 investigation. Davis has taken and passed a lie detector test regarding her conversation with Wong in which Wong declared that Spitzer had given Gristina the warning. The New York Daily News reported the incident but failed to identify Spitzer, claiming only that a ‘high-level official” had tipped off Gristina.
Davis said that the tip from Spitzer prompted Gristina to shut down her agency, Fleur d’ Elite, and lay low for a while. In other words, Spitzer abused his official position to protect a prostitution ring were he was a client.

After the Salahis’ very public separation in September 2011–which Tareq at first tearfully described to a local TV station as a possible kidnapping of his wife, only to realize he’d called TMZ’s attention to his own humiliation–he set out to start a new life. The NBC celebrity talk show Access Hollywood obliged with a makeover. The program helped Salahi trim down, color his hair, and get invisible braces to straighten his teeth. He emerged younger looking and more fit. But the biggest question surrounding the one-time vineyard owner, TV personality from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of D.C., and, most infamously, so-called White House gate-crasher was: what would the perpetually cash-strapped Tareq Salahi do to earn a living?
During his transformation period, Salahi was spotted in New York partying with self-proclaimed Manhattan madam Kristin Davis. The buxom, long-haired blonde claims to have supplied female escorts to high-end clients like former Gov. Eliot Spitzer. Then, in early December, Salahi confessed to having a crush on another blonde, Kate Gosselin, of TLC’s reality TV series Kate Plus 8. There were reports that Salahi emailed his pals at Access Hollywood to get an introduction.
