In 1983, Giuliani was appointed US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he spearheaded the effort to jail drug dealers, fight organized crime, break the web of corruption in government, and prosecute white-collar criminals. Few US Attorneys in history can match his record of 4,152 convictions with only 25 reversals.

He "fought" organized crime by prosecuting a bunch of low lifes and then later appointing a mobbed up high school dropout to the most powerful law enforcement position in New York City. Not satisfied, he then pushed President Bush into nominating the same mobbed up high school dropout to be the chief of the Department of Homeland Defense - one of the most powerful law enforcement positions in the nation. He was also Giuliani's business partner at Giuliani-Kerik LLC. That same mobbed up high school dropout was later convicted on corruption charges and his name was withdrawn from consideration to that high position.

Your interpretation of his years as a prosecutor differs markedly from mine.

This should get interesting, as Hillary will be sucked into this whirlpool.

BTW, I like Mitch McConnell. What do you think of him?
