I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said, but you might want to take a good hard look at Bernard Kerik’s background before you paint him as something of a victim here.

You are quite right, I should have made clear that Bernard Kerrick is no martyr rather he was blatantly guilty of betraying his public trust. Thank you for pointing that out.

My object was not to rehabilitate Kerrick but to indict our political system which, like Kerrick, has betrayed its trust and taken us to a place of imminent peril. At least it has ceased to function as intended by the founders and as defended by patriots over the centuries.

Bernard Kerrick is no martyr but the system is hypocritical.
