Please indulge my Rudy obsession
Because this story is good:
Rudolph W. Giuliani told a grand jury that his former chief investigator remembered having briefed him on some aspects of Bernard B. Kerik’s relationship with a company suspected of ties to organized crime before Mr. Kerik’s appointment as New York City police commissioner, according to court records.
Mr. Giuliani, testifying last year under oath before a Bronx grand jury investigating Mr. Kerik, said he had no memory of the briefing, but he did not dispute that it had taken place, according to a transcript of his testimony.
Mr. Giuliani’s testimony amounts to a significantly new version of what information was probably before him in the summer of 2000 as he was debating Mr. Kerik’s appointment as the city’s top law enforcement officer. Mr. Giuliani had previously said that he had never been told of Mr. Kerik’s entanglement with the company before promoting him to the police job or later supporting his failed bid to be the nation’s homeland security secretary.
In his testimony, given in April 2006, Mr. Giuliani indicated that he must have simply forgotten that he had been briefed on one or more occasions as part of the background investigation of Mr. Kerik before his appointment to the police post.
“Forgotten that he had been briefed on or more occasions”? He would have fit right in in the Bush administration. Maybe that’s unfair, since Rudy did admit recommending a mobbed up hack for Director of Homeland Security was a mistake:
The statement added: “Mayor Giuliani has admitted it was a mistake to recommend Bernie Kerik for D.H.S. and he has assumed responsibility for it.â€
I guess when you contrast that with Dick Cheney — who forced the man he shot to apologize for being shot — it doesn’t sound so bad.
Just like Hillary when she testified on the Whitewater scandal…she could not remember anything
Rick - maybe because there was nothing to remember. Ah whitewater - those were the days - $75 million dollars and a blow job gets a President impeached. Now thanks to political inflation, it takes thousands of lives, untold squandering of treasure and well you get the idea.
Unlike Senator Clinton. Can I say that yep, Senator Clinton, Have a true look at Bernie Kerik. Look at the mobbed up Kerik.Look at the soon to be indicted Kerik.
But you won’t. That requires an open mind and critical thinking. When it opens up come back otherwise back under the bridge.
