..........when Giuliani's campaign chest approached the maximum he could spend for re-election in 1997, $9.7 million, Kislin was one of several top backers of the mayor who supported the Liberal Party, which had endorsed the mayor and helped finance his campaign, according to The Village Voice. One of Kislin's companies gave $30,000 to the Liberals. Kislin also kicked in $7,700 to Jules Polenetsky, who was running with Giuliani for the city's office of public advocate and could share political advertisement costs with the mayor. Giuliani's campaign manager had asked the mayor's major contributors to help finance Polenetsky's campaign.
In 1996, Kislin hosted a fund-raiser for Giuliani, a former hard-charging federal prosecutor, at the Lido Restaurant in Brooklyn. And last May 25, 1995 Kislin also was a co-chair for a Giuliani fund-raiser at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers. The bash raised $2.1 million for his probable run for the Senate next year. I did a lot of fund raising for Giuliani," Kislin acknowledged. "He's a good man, doing a good job for the city of New York." Bruce Teitelbaum, the spokesman for Giuliani's Senate campaign exploratory committee, refused through an aide to comment on Semyon Kislin's support of Giuliani. Teitelbaum refused to return calls himself.
Mayor Giuliani's press secretary, Sunny Mindel, said "I don't know anything about the mayor's contributors," and referred the question to Teitelbaum. The campaign did return a $2,000 check last August that it had received at the Sheraton Hotel fund-raiser from Philip Castellano, son of the late racketeer Paul Castellano, even though the younger Castellano has never been accused of a crime.
Arik Kislin, Semyon's nephew, contributed $1,000 to Mayor Giuliani in 1995.
Gee, this sounds EXACTLY like what happened to Duncan Hunter. I'll wait while freepers express their righteous indignation about that little matter.
One of several articles:

Golly gee! I think another shoe is about to drop...
Hunter for president bump!
Posting an article from over 7 years ago, wow! Gotta reach far there. Why are you not posting articles about Hillary Clinton? Unless you have an agenda and want her to win.
Interesting, but let's put it into perspective. $14,000 over a period of four years is not exactly huge.
As for the Liberal Party, sometimes it's too the left of the NY Democrat party, and sometimes it's the more honest of the two. In this case, they were supporting Giuliani against Dinkins. If I were a NYC businessman, or even a Mafia capo, I'd put my money against Dinkins. As, I believe, the Conservative Party did at that time. Of the available candidates for Mayor, Giuliani was the only possible choice except for corrupt freeloaders.
Lots of names, oddles of speculation, tons of implications. All adding up to ZERO. No prosecutions, no arrests, no convictions. LoL
Candidates rarely know the background details of all their donors. It would be silly for us to expect them to.
The RIGHT WING seems to have completely vanished in Washington D.C...
(( VANISHED )).. Except for a very few examples.. in the House that is..
The FBI and CIA seems to be worthless..
Sandy Burgular is still laughing at them..
And the border agents are still in prison..
Blonde Management Corp.?
sounds like a hair-raising kind of place as described herein.
Thanks for posting, even if it is "old news".
I never saw you post anything about Al Gore and Occidental Oil or Armand Hammer when he was running for President.
bttt
