Rudy Giuliani won't say if he'd pardon Kerik as President
Source: NYDailyNews

Rudy Giuliani refused to say if he'd consider pardoning his old friend Bernie Kerik - who was indicted Thursday on federal corruption charges - if elected President.

"It wouldn't be fair to ask that question at this point," the Republican presidential hopeful said in an exclusive interview in Dubuque, Iowa, just hours before Kerik was indicted in New York.

"He may or may not be charged, he may or may not be convicted. Who knows what happens?"

As uncomfortable and hypothetical as the question may be, it's one of many tough queries Giuliani will face as his former police commissioner's case winds its way through the courts amid a white-hot presidential race.

The indictments are due to be unsealed today when Kerik - whom Giuliani pushed in 2004 to be U.S. homeland security czar - is expected to be arraigned.

1. Well for a former prosector....
1. He IS charged (everyone knew that)
2. um aside from his legal defense fund hiring a "dream team" and several acts of black magic he is going to be convicted
3. the presumption of the headline is horrific.

4. Rudy is an ass.
This non-answer shouldn't surprise anyone. The guy is not about the common good. He's not about the people. He's about Rudy Giuliani. I lived in NYC during his 2 terms as mayor. He'll do some good, and then grossly overshadow it with his massive ego and desire to get more attention.

5. He won't have to pardon him..
Bush will pardon him and lots of others on his way out of the White House. Just like his father did.

7. Latest Repug whine: "IT'S NOT FAIR!!"
It's not fair to ask Mukassey what he thinks torture is either. It's just not fair. Well, it isn't. :eyes:

9. Cafferty defended RUDY yesterday about Kerik...showing his
real support for Rudy. If Hillary had done that he would have put a stake through her heart. Another republican lover in the fuc===== media.
