KERIK FACES JAIL ON FEDS' TAX RAP; LEAVES CANDIDATE PAL RUDY SQUIRMING
NY POST ^ | November 9, 2007 | KATI CORNELL, MURRAY WEISS and MATTHEW NESTEL with Carl Campanile

Mug shot of Bernard Kerik, taken at the Bronx District Attorney's Office, after he pleaded guilty to conflict of interest charges in June 2006.

Rudy Giuliani's disgraced ex-police commissioner, Bernard Kerik, is back on the wrong side of the law - a federal grand jury slapped him with a new indictment yesterday.....Kerik's corruption and tax charges included tax evasion, conspiracy and receiving unlawful gratuities.

..............as to Kerik's filthy links to organized crime, "Me-First Giuliani" defended the tainted Kerik. Kerik is Giuliani's former driver, bodyguard and business partner is a security business. Giuliani connived to foist Kerik on the Nation as Homeland/Secy because Kerik would have wholesale access to FBI files. Kerik's surveillance of FBI files---then turning over useful info to Giuliani---would materially advance Power-Mad Giuliani's political ambitions.

"Me-First Giuliani" also connived to shield himself from the fact that he had knowledge of, but ignored, Kerik’s filthiness. "I was not informed of it.” "Save-My-Rear Giuliani" lied when asked if he had been warned about mobbed-up Kerik when he appointed Kerik to the top NYC police post in 2000.

But "Security Expert Giuliani" had tripped up royally trying to save himself, and was forced to amend the statement last year in testimony to a state grand jury. "Forgetful Giuliani" the security expert, said that neither he nor any of his aides could recall being briefed about Kerik’s mob involvements.

"Me-First Giuliani" was forced to acknowledge that the city investigations commissioner, Edward J. Kuriansky, had told him that Kerik was mob-connected at least once. But a review of Mr. Kuriansky’s diaries, and investigators’ notes from a 2004 interview with Giuliani indicate that such a session indeed took place. Even more significant: According to Kuriansky’s diaries compiled at the time (plus Kuriansky's later recollection to investigators), Kuriansky recalled briefing Giuliani’s closest aides about Kerik’s dirty entanglements.

Kuriansky said he had briefed Giuliani just days before Giuliani promoted Kerik, (Giuliani's ex-driver and bodyguard---the man who knows where all of Giuliani's bodies are buried) to be the city's top cop.Mr. Kuriansky is conveniently deceased but he left his own diaries AND recorded testimony he himself gave to investigators that corroborate his claims.

First, let me say that I was never very impressed with this guy and that I would never under any circumstances cast a vote for Guiliani. No, not even if he is the Republican candidate. That being said, this Kerik would not be in this trouble except for the fact that he’s linked to Republican.

‘That being said, this Kerik would not be in this trouble except for the fact that he’s linked to Republican.’

Same view here.

However true, he still deserves the trouble he is in.

While what you are saying (about FBI file access) has a good possibility of being true, there is no real proof. It is entirely possible that this is just a case of good old fashioned cronyism.

Another example of Rudy making a bad choice. IMO Rudy was aware of Kerik’s activities and connections.

The unmitigated gall of the two creeps--Rudy and Bernie---collaborating to deceive the WH.

The suckers lied and scammed New Yorkers-----the lowlifes thought they could get away with lying to the president and to the American people.

Giulaini was (and is) desperate to get his hands on national security information----for HIS OWN purposes----and the sucker's still trying.

Giulaini is like a wad of gum sticking to your shoe that you can't scrape off.

I found this on another board and thought I'd share:

In Rudy Giuliani’s mind:
  1. NYPD = US Military
  2. Mafia = foreign countries
  3. Times Square = Superfund sites
  4. Streets = Interstate Highway System
  5. Harlem = the South
  6. Squeegee Men = Terrorists
  7. Central Park = National Park System
  8. Firefighters = Homeland Security
  9. Subways = Amtrak
  10. Staten Island = rural America

Pretty accurate.

We will, but is there any serious, reasonable doubt?
