KERIK HIRES NEW LAWYER (ex-Giuliani partner used attorney to feed lies to L/E)
NY POST ^ | March 18, 2008 | KATI CORNELL

Posted on 03/18/2008 4:01:20 AM PDT by Liz

The former Police Commissioner has a new lawyer to battle federal corruption charges.......prosecutors claimed Kerik used his former attorney to feed lies to investigators. Kerik faces a slew of charges...accepting free renovations from mob-linked contractor to lying to White House officials (as the hand-picked candidate of his pal Rudy Giuliani) to head Home/Sec.

KEYWORDS: kerik
Kerik was Rudy Giuliani's former bodyguard, driver, hand-picked Police Commissioner, business partner, Homeland/Sec nominee, and admitted felon and tax evader (in that order).

THE DIRT ON KERIK AND GIULIANI JUST KEEPS PILING UP--HERE'S A PILE GIULIANI PARTNERS ARE TRYING TO BURY SBInet is a program created under US Customs and Border Protection to design a new integrated system of personnel, infrastructure, technology, and rapid response to secure our borders. DHS awarded this contract to Boeing. But, Boeing outsources its IT work to Computer Sciences Corp. DynCorp was bought by Computer Sciences Corp. in 2003. DynCorp is a client of Bracewell & Giuliani: SOURCE http://www.bracewellgiuliani.com/index.cfm/fa/lawyer.profile/attorney/d77551aa-3106-4b0a-9319-b99bc0b27eb4/Kristin_A_McLaurin.cfm

WAR PROFITEERS Bernie Kerik was once top dog at Giuliani Partners, and is the one that oversaw a $50 million police-training contract for Giuliani's client, defense contractor DynCorp. Kerik spent $1.2 billion tax dollars to train 35,000 troops in Jordan (even though France and Germany offered to provide training for free). Kerik also bought $20 million worth of rifles and revolvers from Jordan when the weapons could’ve been obtained for far less in Iraq. Kerik hired Iraqi policemen without background checks who later turned out to be hardened criminals. He re-hired policeman formerly employed by Saddam Hussein and bragged of training 37,000 new officers. SOURCE: http://www.thenation.com/blogs/outrage?pid=2058

Anybody care to guess how many "offshore companies" connected to Giuliani/Kerik got contracts to suck out hundreds of millions of dollars from post-war profiteering?

The PR smokescreen was that Kerik (a Giuliani Partner) was sent to Iraq to help "train the police force." Kerik stayed just two months and one day, then just up and left. Other reports say Kerik was contracted to be there 6 months or more. Why the abrupt departure, Bernie, old man?

AND GET THIS BOMBSHELL Kerik actually had an open warrant for his arrest at the time Giuliani recommended him to the Bush administration for the post of Homeland Security chief. His nomination was dropped like a hot potato by the Bush administration after a copy of the arrest warrant was faxed to the White House just before Kerik's confirmation hearing in the U.S. Senate. This flagrant misrepresenation of Kerik's bona fides by both Kerik and Giuliani in the WH vetting process resulted in the latest charges against Kerik---centering on lying to the WH.

Guiliani's keeping this crucial information from Pres Bush is a crime---a verifiable crime. Keep in mind Giuliani touts himself as a "security expert"----and gets big bucks from suckers he inveigles into believing this pipedream. Anybody who hires Giuliani's company for "security" services would probably have a well-developed self-destructive streak.

Could be Giuliani’s $60 million campaign fiasco was a ruse to keep him from being indicted.

Why doesn't Bernie hire his best friend Rooty as his Lawyer? After all wasn't Rooty a hot shot lawyer? I do seem to recall that rumor.

And I'm sure Rooty has the appropriate shoes and matching purse for court still in his closet.

Nice tagline but you should really atrribute it to its rightful source---Eliot Spitler.

Mmmmmmm........actually Eliot Spitzer changed the rules since the Mayflower incident. Now all NY pols have to dress in Pilgrim clothing if they want to score.

Thanks.
But I really picked the tagline up from a 'redneck singer' comedy video on You Tube I accidentally found. That was one of its opening lines.

However since you mention it, it does fit Spitzer doesn't it.

No problem for Rooty.
Rumor has it he likes Long Black Dresses, Big Buckles and when 'naughty', being restrained in 'The Stocks'.

Just a rumor mind you :-)

They would hardly be the only ones to profit from 9/11. FIVE companies in Virginia alone got multi-million dollar contracts to produce airport face-recognition technology. Not one of them produced a viable result.

No wonder the transient Clintons could move into New York with such ease.

Yeah, I hear that's how Jooty got him to propose----after all, what else was she supposed to do? Rooty was already a two-time loser by the time she stalked him in a cigar bar.

I think one reason they moved to NY was that Bill had lots of friends in the Emperor’s Club VIP.

lol Wonder who 'loaned' the start up capitol so the Emperors could club? Old Bill has quite an international slush fund at his beck and call. Greta the sleuth had old pristine manicured hands Bill on her show last night and he was promoting his global salvation of the poor and controlling the climate. He really needed a collar around his neck instead of a flashy 'red' shirt.

Whoever ponied up, you can bet it involved tax evasion, money laundering, and violation of US bank laws. Interesting that the alleged mastermind, pimp Brener, was certified by the IRS to represent people in disputes and also worked for the Israeli Tax Agency. Brener was found with $600,000 and an Israeli passport when the feds arrived.
