For those who do not remember Kerik,

Bernard Bailey "Bernie" Kerik (born September 4, 1955) is a former New York City Police Commissioner who was nominated by George W. Bush to head the Department of Homeland Security in December 2004.

A week later, Kerik withdrew his nomination, explaining that he had employed an illegal immigrant as a nanny. Subsequently, numerous other allegations also surfaced. In 2006, Kerik pleaded guilty to two unrelated ethics violations after an investigation by the Office of the Bronx District Attorney and was ordered to pay $221,000.

A grand jury of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a 16-count indictment against Kerik on November 8, 2007, alleging conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, and lying to the Internal Revenue Service. Kerik surrendered to authorities the next day and pled not guilty to all charges.[2][3][4] On October 20, 2009, his bail was revoked and he was jailed pending trial.[5] On November 5, 2009, he pleaded guilty[6] to 8 charges in a plea bargain with prosecutors who recommended a jail sentence of 27 to 33 months.[7] Kerik was sentenced to four years in federal prison on February 18, 2010.[8] On March 30, 2011, he lost his appeal in federal court to have his four-year sentence reduced because of alleged bias by the sentencing judge.[9]

before he got busted, he served as Guillani's right hand man, profitting off the Iraq War.

Following his departure from the New York City Police Department, he was employed by Giuliani Partners, a consulting firm formed by the former Mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani. He served as a Senior Vice President at Giuliani Partners and as Chief Executive Officer of Giuliani-Kerik LLC, an affiliate of Giuliani Partners. Kerik resigned from these positions in December, 2004. In March 2005 he created The Kerik Group LLC, where he served as Chairman until June 2009, consulting in Crisis Management and Risk Mitigation, Counter-Terrorism and Law Enforcement and Jail/Prison Management strategies.

1. OMG. Anymore, I seriously consider the 'news' a joke.

How can they expect to be taken seriously by putting this guy out there as an expert.

[hrmjustin]

2. The criminal who ran the NYPD!

[babylonsister]

3. You can't make it up. nt

[npk]

4. Well I guess if they are going to have a discussion about corrupt cops might as well go straight...

to their leader. CNN is so irrelevant.

[LiberalElite]

5. AAAAAAUGH!

I'm in NYC. Kerik is one corrupt bastard. But you knew that.

Regarding those ethics violations:

Disgraced and Penalized, Kerik Finds His Name Stripped Off Jail

Bernard B. Kerik left his mark on the city's Department of Correction, reducing violence among inmates and cutting the use of overtime and sick leave by employees.

Less than 48 hours after Bernard B. Kerik pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors, the Bernard B. Kerik Complex in Manhattan was renamed.
But yesterday, his mark was literally stripped from the Manhattan jail, in a gesture that seemed to seal his fall from grace and underscore how quickly a good reputation can be lost.

9. and they scratch their heads and wonder

why viewers are leaving.

10. Might as well just pour salt on the guy's wound.....

I got so steamed as I watched Guiliani make $$$$$ off his role in 9-11. He paraded around the country getting huge speaker fees
by giving a talk on "Preparedness in Crisis", grabbing the gold while he could. I heard about it in the Mobile Newspaper cause the
dog and pony show was booked there.

[onethatcares]

13. ghouliani making $$ off his role in 9-11

what could you expect from a guy that has used his name countless time to incorporate?

ghoulian-kerik llc, ghouliani & partners, etc, and he's still pitching identity theft

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I knew I had spelled Rudy's name wrong!

[corkhead]

6. My first thought was George Zimmerman

[JEB]

7. Skelator.

I guess Manson wasn't available.

[dsc]

8. To be fair Mr. Kerik

has been advocating for both prison reform and reform of anti drug laws since his incarceration. He may well have something quite interesting to say.

[Trillo]

11. Yeah, and think of all that name recognition he has.

Not sure whether I'm being sarcastic or not.

[Scuba]

12. What? George Zimmerman was unavailable?

[davidpdx]

14. He's been on CNN the past few days as well

I didn't see him today. They had the two Mark's on (Mark Garagos and Mark O'Mara). I personally would rather see someone like Jeffery Toobin on.

[Octafish]

16. LOL! Bernie's BFEE.

Know your BFEE: Homeland Czar & Petro-Turd Bernie Kerik

Can't say enough about the guy.

[sabrina 1]

17. Unbelievable!! That man, IF he is on the air at all, should be used as an EXAMPLE of the decline of

America's civilian policing.
