:rofl: Rudy, next time you're reminiscing about your 9-11 glory days, don't forget to mention your best pal, Bernie!












Bernard Kerik's legal nightmare is about to get worse, with federal prosecutors expected to file charges against the former police commissioner that will likely include allegations of bribery, tax fraud and obstruction of justice, the Daily News has learned.

The indictment, expected next month, could prove to be an embarrassing obstacle for Kerik's former mentor Rudy Giuliani, who is cruising at the top of the polls heading into the presidential primary gauntlet.

The bribery allegations against Kerik stem from a secret meeting at a bar in Tribeca, according to two sources familiar with the federal probe.

The expected obstruction of justice charges from the feds are related to Kerik's statements to Bronx prosecutors, the sources said.

Giuliani has extensive ties to Kerik, promoting him to correction commissioner, then to police commissioner. Giuliani later also hired him at his firm, Giuliani Partners, and recommended him to President Bush for the job of Homeland Security secretary.

The relationship soured in December 2004 when Kerik withdrew from consideration for the Homeland Security job and a torrent of accusations of wrongdoing poured forth.

3. Secret meetings at BARS in TRIBECA...always a bad idea, I'd say!!!

This is GREAT--it reads like a SOPRANOS treatment!! I'll bet Mitt Romney is giggling like a schoolgirl over this news:

The indictment will have direct implications for Giuliani...For one, another Giuliani commissioner and a top inspector general during Giuliani's years as mayor will be called as witnesses to describe the secret meeting in Tribeca.

The Giuliani officials are Raymond Casey, former head of the Trade Waste Commission, a city agency set up to keep the mob out of the carting industry, and Michael Caruso, former inspector general with the city Department of Investigation.

In July 1999, Casey and Caruso met with Kerik, then the city Correction Department commissioner, at Walker's bar on North Moore St....At the time, Casey was investigating Interstate Industrial Corp., a company that employed Kerik's brother Donald and the best man at Kerik's wedding, Larry Ray.

An Interstate affiliate had applied to operate a waste transfer station in Staten Island, and Casey was looking into allegations that the firm had ties to the Gambino crime family.

During the meeting, both Interstate and Ray were discussed...Kerik has admitted that at the time Interstate was secretly paying to renovate his Bronx apartment. Prosecutors are now expected to allege that the free renovations amounted to Kerik accepting bribes, the sources said.

Wasn't Kerik hiding out in Jordan doing security work for awhile? Guess they couldn't keep him gone forever....

11. He'll probably use the "At least it wasn't a blowjob" defense!

Though that's getting old.

Most folks would prefer a blowjob to the screwing they're getting these days!!!!!

13. Rudy got plenty of those from his mistress at WTC7, I'm sure

where he had a private suite at the City's Emergency Command and Control Center, a suite accessed by private elevator, where he met Judi on weekends... just what was going on there? On second thought, I'd rather not think about it.

Why does everyone here look so f*cking happy? They're strolling Ground Zero, not a f*cking festival. The place is/was a f*cking graveyard. So why are they yukking it up? Doesn't this just say it all?

16. Kerik 'Spoiling For A Fight' With Federal Prosecutors

Washington Post | John Solomon | October 15, 2007

Bernard Kerik, the disgraced police commissioner and former Rudy Giuliani pal, wants it to be known he's spoiling for a fight if federal prosecutors decide next month to charge him with new crimes. "If the prosecutors in any event make the fateful decision to charge Bernie Kerik, we will fight it in court, and he will win," Kerik's attorney Kenneth Breen said Friday.

While Kerik may be ready for a fight, the specter of court hearings and a public trial wouldn't be welcome news for Giuliani's presidential campaign, which has tried mightily to distance itself from Kerik since he fell from grace back in late 2004. That's when questions of corruption and other wrongdoing surfaced and scuttled Kerik's nomination to be President Bush's homeland security chief.
