That is the foremost reason I cannot vote for Rudy. I don't trust his judgment or his alliances one iota.
I didn't think I should have to spell it out and I was tired. Unfortunately, whatever Rudy did or did not know about Kerik, it didn't look good when Kerik was "found out" AFTER having accepted the Homeland Security chief position.
He should never have had a security clearance to work in New York City as Police Commissioner, considering his background.
So, it does and it will, raise suspicions about Giuliani that will never go away. Yet he sails along in his bid for the presidency. IMO, he had his 15 minutes of fame.
One only needs to google the name Bernard Kerik a bit to find all sorts of stuff about the character, including business dealings with the Saudis.
