As FREEPER SUSSA cogently analyzed: Rudy gave his bimbo security of her own.....NYPD drove her around, and walked her dog, when he wasn’t around. She even loaned her security detail out to taxi her friends on shopping trips when she wasn’t with them.
These are crimes. They are also taxable events. Hopefully, the IRS and the NY State taxing authority will investigate this. There may also be federal public corruption charges the U.S. Justice Dept. can bring against Rudy. Hopefully, the U.S. Attorney for Southern New York will launch an investigation.
========================
I would add: It's not the security detail's expenses per se that are at issue here; it's the EXTRANEOUS police expenses Rooty incurred AND the coverup. The bimbo's security expenses were calculatedly hid in obscure agencies to keep the costs secret.....that in itself is an admission of guilt.
If Rudy had simply stayed home with his wife and kids acting like the paradigm family man he conned the public into believing he was, HE WOULD NEVER HAVE INCURRED EXTRA EXPENSES for gas, hotels/meals per diems, and occasional airline bills.
Rooty assigned seven NYPD officers and government cars at Jooty's beck and call 24/7............all of it IN EXCESS of what the married Mayor was already alotted for security for himself, and his immediate family.
But the security details see nearly all of what goes on behind the scenes. Often even the protectees do not know that added expense they cause when they ask for special favors; "My wife needs a ride to the airport", "My nephew is looking for a store that sells ....." Far too often, the officers providing the protection feel like they are nothing more than chauffeurs and personal assistants.
Although these are requests that should be coordinated with staff members, when uttered during transportation with the protection detail, they become requests that must be dealt with. Somewhere in the system, the VIP must be rebuffed that their requests are unreasonable
Our understood orders were to comply, and then report back through channels. I can easily project that what happened in NYC began with a simple, though inappropriate, activity and then snowballed out of control. With individuals like Kerik at Rudy's beckon and call. it is likely that No One pushed back
For me, the bottom line is that Rudy is no fool, and he must have winked at what he knew was a lot of money being spent for his personal convenience. Abuse of privilege is not a good indicator of future potential.
