.......as to Kerik's filthy links to organized crime, "Me-First Giuliani" defended the tainted Kerik----his former driver, bodyguard and business partner------whom Giuliani tried to foist on the Nation as Homeland/Sec/Secy so that Kerik could surveil FBI files to advance Power-Mad Giuliani's political ambitions.
"Me-First Giuliani" also connived to shield himself from the fact that he had knowledge of, but ignored, Kerik’s filthiness.
"I was not informed of it,” "Save-My-Rear Giuliani" said when asked if he had been warned about mobbed-up Kerik when he appointed Kerik to the top NYC police post in 2000.
"Security Expert Giuliani" had tripped up royally, and was forced to amend the statement last year in testimony to a state grand jury.
"Me-First Giuliani" acknowledged that the city investigations commissioner, Edward J. Kuriansky, had told him that Kerik was mob-connected at least once.
"Forgetful Giuliani" the security expert said that neither he nor any of his aides could recall being briefed about Kerik’s mob involvements.
But a review of Mr. Kuriansky’s diaries, and investigators’ notes from a 2004 interview with Giuliani indicate that such a session indeed took place.
Even more significant, according to the diaries compiled at the time and Kuriansky's later recollection to the investigators, Kuriansky recalled briefing Giuliani’s closest aides about Kerik’s dirty entanglements just days before Giuliani made his chauffeur, Kerik, (the man who knows where all of Giuliani's bodies are buried) the city's top cop.
Now that people are finally beginning to look carefully at fRudy's business dealings, he better start researching the statutes of limitation.
P.S. I like your tag line, too. LOL
I hadn't noticed Rudy's cousin, before. How nice to have another member of the "family" in NYC enforcement, approving mobbed up businesses.
One night in July 1999, he sat in Walker’s, a bar in downtown Manhattan, defending Interstate to Raymond V. Casey, a cousin of Mayor Giuliani who was chief of enforcement for the city commission that was reviewing Interstate’s license application.
That's the biggest laugh. Why does he get credit for being a security expert when September 11th happened on his watch?
You know how much Giuliani loves the Yankees? Interstate Industrial built Yankee Stadium :)
