Rudy's cousin, a mobster wanted for three murders, died in a shoot out with FBI agents.
Rudy's best friend, Klerik, that he promoted for head of homeland security is a corrupt thief and should end up doing time at club fed. Your buddy Rudy claims he never knew what Klerik was up to. Either poor judgment, or he didn't think Kleriks actions were wrong.
Which makes him either ignorant or corrupt.
