Is God punishing Rudy Giuliani for the Pat Robertson endorsement? Maybe or maybe not, but you could see Rudy’s latest ordeal coming for a long time. So now Federal prosecutors are about to seek an indictment of Rudy’s pal and protoge, Bernie Kerik:
The grand jury, convening in Westchester County, has heard evidence about Mr. Kerik for about a year as part of a broad federal inquiry into a variety of issues, including his acceptance of $165,000 in renovations from a contractor who was seeking a city license.
Prosecutors are also seeking to charge Mr. Kerik, 52, with failing to report as income more than $200,000 in rent that they say was paid on his behalf to use a luxury Upper East Side apartment where he lived with his family around the time he left his city post, the people briefed on the case said.
TalkLeft has a bunch of excellent links for more reading on Giuliani’s Kerik troubles.
Curiously, the right blogosphere hasn’t been quick to pick up the story.
Something to say?
