Update: Kerik expected to be indicted today for tax evasion

"Federal prosecutors are expected to ask a federal grand jury tomorrow to indict former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik for failing to pay taxes on free apartment renovations and rent," two 'federal sources' told ABC News' Richard Esposito Wednesday night.

"Kerik, according to sources involved in preparing his defense, has expected the indictment, and his associates have been attempting to raise money for a legal defense fund. Assuming the grand jury sitting in suburban Westchester County federal courthouse votes to indict, Kerik is expected to surrender to the United States Marshals Friday morning."

According to ABC News, "Friends of Kerik are attempting to raise money from his well-heeled associates for a legal defense fund, the sources said. It has been difficult, given that many of those associates may also have relationships with presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani who is routinely questioned about his relationship with Kerik."

Giuliani recommended Kerik for Homeland Security Secretary in 2004, but his name was withdrawn following charges of corruption. Giuliani has recently attempted to minimize his knowledge of Kerik's background, telling the Associated Press, "It was a mistake not checking him out as thoroughly as I should have."

1. Mr. Giuliani certainly does hang out with a charming bunch of folks, doesn't he?

2. We need to put together a master list of Rudy's "appointments"

And ask if Republican cronyism hasn't caused enough trouble.

5. Where's Rudy's other hand? I think he's giving Bernie a reach-around.

Such a lovely couple.

6. The Corporate Media Springs Into Action

It's already known that Faux wants Rudy...so you know what type of coverage that "network" will give. Tweety the other day all but bent over and assumed the position for Rudy with a man-crush that blinds him to the lies and crooks Rudy is associated with. Others also have blown off Rudy's many lies and inept campaign...if they only gave this scumbag 10% of the scrutiny they did on Gore, it'd be 24/7. But Rudy's still "America's Mayor" and continuously gets a pass on any flip-flop or ridiculous thing he says.

The interesting side of Rudy is how his campaign is all but avoiding his own home state. His strategy is to win without taking his own home turf (same for Mittens)...and this scandal is sure to play big inside NYC, but Rudy's enablers in the corporate media will continue to downplay it.
