Absolutely. You won't hear very much if anything from the MSM about that scandal until after the convention, and then if Rudy is nominated it will be front page headlines and mentioned at every newsbreak on the air.
The Washington Post did print an article on Kerik and his connection to Rudy, but the article is careful to say that Rudy withdrew his support for Kerik'a appointment to an important federal post after the scandal became public.

Federal prosecutors have told Bernard B. Kerik, whose nomination as homeland security secretary in 2004 ended in scandal, that he is likely to be charged with several felonies, including tax evasion and conspiracy to commit wiretapping. Kerik's indictment could set the stage for a courtroom battle that would draw attention to Kerik's extensive business and political dealings with former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who personally recommended him to President Bush for the Cabinet. Giuliani, the front-runner for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination according to most polls, later called the recommendation a mistake.
Notice no mention of the fact that Rooty knew of Kerik’s mob ties before he made him police commissioner and recommended him for the homeland security chief.
No mention that it may be proved in Kerik’s trial that Rooty lied under oath to the grand jury.
