Breaking: Bernard Kerik Pleads Guilty

So, the man who Rudy Giuliani mentored to the position of New York City Police Commissioner has copped a plea deal, and pled guilty to on 8 counts, "two counts of tax fraud, one count of making a false statement on a loan application — the most serious — and five separate counts of making false statements to the federal government," and is likely to be sentenced to 27 to 33 months.

The false statements are in connection to his statements to federal agents when he was being vetted to be head of DHS by Bush and His Evil Minions^™.

Basically, he got a $¼ million in renovations for his apartment from a mob tied contractor that he later recommended for city business.

Basically, Giuliani's right hand man was mobbed up.

This guy was pretty low level until Giuliani decided to smile on him, and it says something about Rudy's judgment, and could, and should be an issue if he chooses to run for governor.
