So Giuliani's Affair Cost Us Almost a Million Dollars!

Wow!

A confidential letter to Bloomberg in January 2002 by city Controller William Thompson said auditors probed further and found Giuliani's office spent $929,863 during fiscal years 2000 and 2001 on nonlocal travel-related expenses. Of that total, $579,082 was assigned to obscure mayoral units.

4. the $600k price tag is the most galling part

the first clips of the politico story that I saw left out the money part. and I wrongly assumed that he was billing like $200 here, $200 there to agencies that help the poor and idigent, bad enough. But Jesus H. Christ, $600k????????? Why the fuck didn't he just buy a high rent condo on the city's dime and save the city a few hundred thousand dollars. And another thing, what the hell is so special about her couchie that is worth bilking taxpayers $600k????????????? Maybe I should have a little more sympathy for an ugly, balding asshole with a lisp that needs to bilk the taxpayer's for $600k to get laid. But nahhh, from Italian to another, Fuck You Rudy. and I'm sure alot of my cousins in New York agree with me.

7. It's always the cover-up, isn't it?

Giuliani's visits to the Hamptons cost taxpayers at least $3,000 a day in NYPD salaries and overnight motel lodging, The Post first reported in 2000.

The latest bit of odd accounting was uncovered when auditors for City Comptroller Bill Thompson spotted a $34,000 expense for out-of-city travel at the Loft Board. It was mysteriously marked "prepayment for FY 2001."

***

Auditors kept digging and turned up $143,867 in nonlocal travel at 12 small mayoral agencies in fiscal 2000, including $10,054 attributed to the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities.

That was on top of the $165,985 in "nonlocal travel" billed directly to the Mayor's Office.

The auditors also found an astonishing $400,000 tab in "nonlocal travel" in fiscal 2001 at the administrative office of the Assigned Counsel Plan, which assigns lawyers to destitute criminal suspects.

Overall, Thompson reported that nonlocal-travel expenses surged from $245,896 in fiscal 2000 to $618,014 in fiscal 2001 - a 151 percent increase.

9. And the next step is turning "this" over to prosecutors .....

..... Rudy might avoid jail but he will have to pay the money back
and his run for the White House is dead.

12. But why did Bloomberg sit on it for FIVE YEARS?

Thompson is running for mayor, I wonder if he leaked it. Wouldn't hurt him to get Clinton's endorsement.

10. And on top of that he was a

married man. MSM are paid hacks. Clinton got a tax free blow job, but we sure had 24/7 coverage. The silence re Rudy is mind blowing. This is a major scandal.
