3. Well, here's some of it . . .
Relationship with Rudy Giuliani
Michael Mukasey has a close relationship with former mayor Rudy Giuliani, as confirmed by Tony Fratto, a presidential spokesperson.<46> Mukasey and Giuliani have been friends since working at the same law firm in the early 1970s.<47> Mukasey has pledged to recuse himself from cases involving Giuliani. Newspaper reports assumed that Mukasey will further recuse himself from cases involving Bernard Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner under Giuliani, who is under federal investigation for bribery and other offenses. However, neither presidential spokespersons nor Mukasey returned reporters' inquiries into whether Mukasey would recuse himself from the Kerik case.<48><49>

Mukasey's son, Marc Mukasey, has been assigned by Giuliani's campaign to block Kerik's legal defense team from interviewing witnesses that might assist his defense.<50>

6. Wow, all those connections....
You might think that the RNC had anointed 9ui11iani and Mukasey's appointment was intended to help grease the skids and nail the closets shut all the way to 1600.
