Judge denies Kerik’s bid to end supervised release to battle ISIS

Bernie Kerik said he could help save the world from ISIS if he were a free man — but a federal judge on Friday wasn’t buying the disgraced former NYPD chief’s bizarre claim, rejecting a bid for an early end to his post-jail supervised release.

In a one-page ruling, chief Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska said the ex-top-cop “has demonstrated no extraordinary circumstances to warrant” getting out of his parole supervision early.

Kerik had argued that travel restrictions prevented him from accepting lucrative consulting gigs and helping to stop ISIS.

But Preska sided with federal prosecutors — who said Kerik lacks credibility and “has shown an utter lack of contrition” for crimes including lying to White House officials vetting him for the job of Homeland Security chief.

So Kerik seems himself as a superhero that is being unjustly held back from battling his archfoe ISIS by the dead hand of bureaucracy and a misguided justice system. Plus there'd be oodles of money in it for him.

that true patriot Giuliani put this guy in charge of the police force and GWB wanted him (with the GOP behind him) as head of DHS.

and that he quietly returned (with no fanfare) I think in a couple of months. I found this scathing report: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/iraq-commander-bernard-kerik-waste-time-iraq-article-1.329451

This dude wants to go fight ISIS? Bwahahahaha

Lucrative Contracts? Bet that is with Ghouliani's outfit - because his mafia-raised/patriotic self is the only person dumb enough to have any faith in Kerik.
