About a month ago, the judge in charge of the Bernard Kerik case, Federal Judge Stephen Robinson, took him and his defense team to task for releasing information that was under seal.
Well, it appears that Kerik has tried other ways to leak this information out, potentially tainting a jury pool, so he revoked Kerik's bail, sending him to jail:
Judge Stephen C. Robinson of Federal District Court in White Plains said Mr. Kerik could not be trusted to honor a consent order prohibiting him from revealing confidential information. The judge cited an email that Mr. Kerik sent to the head of his defense fund that apparently included such information.It appears that Kerik, not only sent an email to the lawyer running his defense fund, Anthony Modafferi, but then tweeted to people directing them to his posts, which raises stupidity to a whole new level.
Mr. Kerik had been allowed to remain free on $500,000 bail, which was secured by his house in New Jersey. The judge turned down a request by Mr. Kerik’s lawyers to keep him from being put behind bars for 48 hours while they prepare an appeal.
Before revoking the bail of Mr. Kerik, Judge Robinson described him as a “toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance, and I fear that combination leads him to believe his ends justify his means.”
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the case at hand, which is for taking bribes from mobbed up businesses in the form of things like renovations.
It's one of the things that Rudy Guiliani will have to deal with if he runs for office: The guy who he plucked from obscurity and made police commissioner is mobbed up, which makes him more vulnerable as a candidate, as is the fact that the more he campaigns, the less people like him.
The only way that he can win is if he runs against a complete loser like David Dinkins or David Paterson....osh#@!
