A Federal Judge Remanded Kerik to Jail After The Former Top NY Cop Leaked Sealed Information

A Federal judge revoked the bail of former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik and ordered him remanded to prison on the eve of his corruption trial, calling him a "toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance."

Kerik was indicted in 2007 on charges including the alleged acceptance of free rent and apartment renovations, tax evasion and lying on his application for the job as head of the Department of Homeland Security. Kerik has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Following a pre-trial conference in White Plains, N.Y., today, Federal Court Judge Stephen Robinson said towards the close of the three-and-a-half hour proceeding that Kerik "sees himself as a victim" and rescinded Kerik's $500,000 bail.

13. I can hear Bush already: "Bernie Who?"

Right next to "Ahmad Who" (Chalabi) in the Bush Memory Hole Hall of Fame. You remember Bernie and Ahmad, don't you George? One of them you nominated to head up Homeland Security, and the other sat right behind Laura at one of your State of the Whatever addresses to Congress. Doesn't ring a bell at all, does it?

14. What does that mean the judge rescinded bail because the police chief feels

like a victim?

16. Usually for a "flight risk"

The wording in the news piece is poor.
