GIULIANI CAUGHT RED-HANDED IN FRAUDULENT BILLING FOR PRE-9-11 TRIPS TO SEE NATHAN! SMOKING LINKS!

[Dems Will Win]

Hoo boy! Rudolph has finally been caught red-handed, the investigation has already started, and it's similar to the Kerik case in that funding to carry out affairs was gotten illegally.

Here are the SMOKING LINKS: http://www.politico.com/static/PPM43_071128_giulianiamex2.html

Damn! They have him dead to rights, it looks like. He charged personal trips to Nathan to obscure and improper agencies. $620,000 over 2 years for non-local trips (some of which might be legal but most charged to the Loft Board and that huge $400,000 charge for Administrative Counsel!!). And he was seeing Nathan every weekend just before 9-11. Wasn't he supposed have been working on terrorism, like he said?

PASS THE POPCORN!

Giuliani billed obscure agencies for trips

But American Express bills and travel documents obtained by Politico suggest another reason City Hall may have considered the documents sensitive: They detail three summers of visits to Southampton, the Long Island town where Nathan had an apartment.

Auditors "were unable to verify that these expenses were for legitimate or necessary purposes," City Comptroller William Thompson wrote of the expenses from fiscal year 2000, which covers parts of 1999 and 2000.

...

"There is no really good reason to do this except to have nobody know about it," Carol O'Cleireacain, a Brookings Institution senior fellow who was budget director under Giuliani's predecessor, David Dinkins, said of the unusual billing practices.

A Giuliani spokeswoman, Sunny Mindel, declined to comment on any aspect of the travel documents or the billing arrangements.

A Giuliani aide who would speak only on the condition of anonymity denied that the unorthodox billing practices were aimed at hiding the expenses, citing "accounting" and noting that they were billed to units of the mayor's office, not to outside city agencies.

The aide declined to discuss Giuliani's visits to Long Island.


The trips themselves were a departure for a mayor who had prided himself on spending every waking moment in the city and on the job, and offer a glimpse into the dramatic and controversial finale to his tenure in office.

Receipts show him in Southampton every weekend in August and the first weekend in September of 2001, before the terror attacks of Sept. 11 disrupted the routines of his city.

Both the travel expenses and the appearance that his office made efforts to conceal them could open Giuliani to criticism that his personal life spilled over into his official duties and his expenses grew in his final years in office.

It is impossible to say which of the 11 Long Island trips indicated by credit card receipts were to visit Nathan and which were for other purposes.

ht of those trips, however, were not noted on Giuliani's official scheduleich is now available in the city's municipal archive and contains many details of Giuliani's official and unofficial life.

...

A spokesman for Bloomberg, Stu Loeser, said: "When we received the letter from the comptroller, we referred the matter to the Department of Investigations, as we would in any case like this."

A spokeswoman for the Department of Investigations declined to comment.
