Giuliani Still Working at Firm He Promised to Leave

By John Solomon
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, October 30, 2007; Page A06

Ten months into his presidential bid, Rudolph W. Giuliani continues to work part time at the security consulting firm he promised to leave this past spring to focus on his pursuit of the Republican nomination.

Giuliani's continuing involvement with a firm catering to corporate clients makes him unique among Republican contenders. It also complicates the task of separating his firm's assets from his campaign spending.

Several of the firm's employees do volunteer work for his campaign. And Giuliani did not decide until mid-June, six months after he entered the race, to bill his campaign for the cost of the security detail traveling with him on campaign trips; before then, the firm paid the expense.

Aides at Giuliani Partners in New York and with his campaign confirmed that he continues working part time at the firm. They declined to answer specific questions about the nature of his efforts, his compensation or the amount of time he spends there.

"Mayor Giuliani spends the majority of his time on the campaign," Giuliani Partners spokeswoman Sunny Mindel said, declining to be more specific.

Federal election laws prohibit Giuliani's firm from absorbing costs or providing services that legally should be covered by political donations, campaign experts said.

1. Nice little scam that Rudy might be runnig.
Rudy's firm can provide "security" to his campaign .....
Rudy has to pay his firm to provide security for his campaign .... because it is the law .....
So Rudy could be paying Rudy out of money raised for his campaign.

3. Slippery. Laundering political donations to his own bank account by paying his own business to do
security work for himself.

4. Learned from bush & company use of Dept. of Defense Contractors
Such as the Lincoln group .... We pat them 27 million to "buy press" in Iraq ....
they then donate about 1/2 of that right back to various republican causes ....
and then the Lincoln group gets another "contract" from the Pentagon ....

Tax Money is now washed and in right wing hands.

6. I am no fan of the Ghoul but I see no problem with this on the face of it. How is it different from
elected officials holding one office while they are running for another? In either case, as long as they are not using employees to campaign for them I would think it is ok. Now if his firm is illegally allowing employees to campaign for the Ghoul while on the company clock that is something else entirely.
