Ex-NYC Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik is expected to face federal charges that may include allegations of bribery, tax fraud and obstruction of justice, according to a report published in Friday's Daily News.
The newspaper adds that the charges are expected to be filed soon, and stem from a secret meeting in a bar in TriBeCa in 1999, in which the former commissioner allegedly accepted free renovations to one of his properties in exchange for a supposed police clearing of a firm with alleged mob ties.
This new revelation may prove to be an embarrassment to the Rudy Giuliani presidential campaign, since the former New York City mayor named Kerik as his right-hand man and recommended him for the top post at the Department of Homeland Security in 2004. A week after his nomination by president George W. Bush, Kerik's name was withdrawn when he confessed to hiring a nanny without a permit to work in the United States.
Two years later, the former commissioner pleaded guilty to two ethics violations prosecuted by the Bronx district attorney's office, and was ordered to pay $221,000.
His old boss told Larry King in February of this year that proposing Kerik as Homeland Security chief was a mistake. Giuliani is the godfather of Kerik's youngest children, Celine Christina and Angelina Amber.

So here's a fond look at what Bernie was doing on 9-11 (stepping out of the shower), and his blast from the past, Judith REGAN.
A couple of her men:

http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/media/columns/medialife/152/.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.
And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.
I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of
why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "
They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"
Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and
fought tooth and nail
for a full-face cover photo of the author. "
Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "
Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

Regan looked straight into the camera and for almost 10 minutes, delivered a pseudo stream-of-consciousness poetry riff mocking Clinton. Referring to his sad boyhood, she mocked his loneliness, then proclaimed that he built himself up and called himself KING, because "I am rich and I can do what I want!" She likened him to the cast out Socks, and envisioned him an old man meeting up with Socks at 125th street, both holding tin cups. ....
It was incredibly vicious. What was especially appalling was how she took the most painful aspects of Bill's background--his truly grievous childhood--and twisted them, using them to mock him. If this wasn't the "politics of personal destruction" I don't know how else you could describe this horrific display. ....

And I (the poster) will claim credit for insight. Back when KERIK's book for REGAN was debutting, she hosted him on her Faux interview show. His tale was of his missing mother, who inexplicably abandoned him as a tot. She never showed up for a custody hearing. The premise of the book was that this tough uber-male had this hole in his heart, thereby setting the pants on fire of tough wingnuts of all genders. As she probed him about the book, she and KERIK locked smouldering,WILD WINGNUT HOT gazes. Once the mother-thing was done, she moved on to his heroics (which were what?) on 9-11. She asked WHERE HE WAS when the planes hit. Without missing a WILD WINGNUT HOT eye-lock, he said, "Stepping out of the shower." She swallowed and held a long breath. The image of nekkid KERIK was plainly etched on the Faux camera lens during the LONG pause. He added, "In my office." Another LONG pause. He added, "After WORKING OUT." There was another swallow. I suspected BACK THEN that something was cooking between publisher and author, and it weren't spaghetti. Only 2 or 3 years later, when KERIK's many other past deeds floated to the surface like dead bodies did it become official that there was indeed WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE between the two, that the two of them alternated their WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions with WORKING OUT together, that he had used NYPD to track down what happened to his mother, that he used NYPD to provide security for his personal WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions, that the WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVENEST was a city-paid apartment near the WTC intended as a rest site for rescue and recovery workers. The REGAN-KERIK Faux interview was pure musk in the air. Why don't Shrub's handlers hire some of US for intelligence work?
