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.

"Me-First Giuliani" also connived to shield himself from the fact that he had knowledge of, but ignored, Keriks 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 Keriks 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. Kurianskys diaries, and investigators notes from a 2004 interview with Giuliani indicate that such a session indeed took place. Even more significant: According to Kurianskys diaries compiled at the time (plus Kuriansky's later recollection to investigators), Kuriansky recalled briefing Giulianis closest aides about Keriks 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.
and to think Bush nominated this creep to hear Homeland Security.
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.
and to think Bush nominated this creep to hear Homeland Security.
Timing is everything. And just as Rooty is high in the polls threatening her thighness.
and to think Bush nominated this creep to head Homeland Security. . . . . . . . . . .
That's what you get for trustying Rudy.
‘That being said, this Kerik would not be in this trouble except for the fact that hes 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.
Great posts Liz.
We’ll see.
Thanks-—glory of the internet——message goes global in a nansecond.
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.
Ping along.
Pretty accurate.
In Rudy Giulianis mind:
- NYPD = US Military
- Mafia = foreign countries
- Times Square = Superfund sites
- Streets = Interstate Highway System
- Harlem = the South
- Squeegee Men = Terrorists
- Central Park = National Park System
- Firefighters = Homeland Security
- Subways = Amtrak
- Staten Island = rural America
Nice find.
Sick litttle Giuliani mind-—and I do mean little.
We will, but is there any serious, reasonable doubt?
Good find!!!
