Giuliani Firms Had Potential Conflict of Interest »

Posted by: Aidenag 2 years, 7 months ago

A pair of companies owned by Rudy Giuliani represented both a debtor and a creditor in a recently concluded bankruptcy proceeding, a potential conflict of interest that wasn't disclosed to the federal judge overseeing the case, records show. The matter could heighten pressures to be more forthcoming about the candidate's businesses.

            once again a story about POTENTIAL conflict gets the lib-dems all in a tizzy--there are still no resulting convictions from ANYof the dozens of these in the last 6 years--and dont give me libby..thats just a joke--or all the dem talking points for impeachment etc--insinuations and suspicions are not crimes--crimes are things like 90k in bribe money in your freezer or diverting defense contracts to your family businesses--those would be crimes--but hey..they feel your pain..they're for the little guy..watchdogs of our civil rights...sure...NOT

              Rudy Giuliani - What gets covered regarding morals?

              This is about a story that for some crack-pot reason is not getting written up by the national media, even though if you do just a mite of googleing, you'll discover that the Right Wing has long had the story, but gotten no traction on it. To read all the bloody details, what you do is google the two names, Alan Placa and Rudy Giuliani, and you can read about it for hours, should you have a taste for Priestly Pedophilia and the investigations of recent years thereof. I'll sketch an outline of the story here

                Fuggedabout it! Rudy's Questionable Judgment Not Soon Forgotten

                Republican Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is coming under increasing scrutiny as details of his testimony before a grand jury come to light. The new revelations show that the Rudy you don't know was briefed about Bernard Kerik's potential mob ties before Giuliani hired him for the position of Chief of Police. Giuliani hired him anyway, and subsequently recommended him to be chief of the nation's Homeland Security department years later.

                  The Rudy You Don't Know Doesn't Seem to Know the Meaning of Strong Leadership

                  When Rudy Giuliani addresses the joint session of the Alabama state legislature this afternoon, he will likely try to tout his strong leadership as a reason to support his candidacy. But, strong leaders don't change their position on a key issue four times in 24 hours.

                      im not aware that abramoff and cunnigham were elected to any office--and they were equal opportunity bribers--lets look into feinstein diverting defense contracts to her companies--her fraud and corruption make abramoff look like a small fry

                        There are crooks on both sides. I am not surprised because I was raised in the "I am not a crook" era.

                          Rudy scares the hell out of me. He's got that "my roids are bothering me" look on his face all of the time. We need another neocon President like we need another Iraq war. Let's get some new faces in the game. Sheesh!

                            These bstards are tricky. Ghoul-i-ani looks like a corpse and probably smells like an old ladie's purse. He's a rotten ole pirate who should never be anywhere near the oval office. Just watch, they'll get those naive religious folks with an appearance of goodness and a support on 1 or 2 issues like marriage, abortion, or religous tax exemptions. Meanwhile the old people will pay more for expensive stateside drugs. sheeesh.

                              He is ghoulish looking. Maybe he was dug up to represent the old mob that went into quiet after all of the busts.

                              All were always eating at a restaurant when they were taken down.

                              At least now the mob is eeo. Anyone can be a member.

                              All of them try to look dumber than the ones before when they are caught.
