Secret Kerik tape is out
HELL hath no fury like an expolice commissioner scorned. Yesterday former top cop, former almost Homeland Commissioner, former prisoner, current litigant Bernie Kerik lobbed still more lawsuits against his onetime lawyer.
Kerik’s newly added material has long been in the offing. I first knew its contents last year. After release from jail, after swearing I wouldn’t mention it until he considered time was right to spring it, Kerik revealed a private recording.
It was a 40minute phone conversation he’d kept under lock and key. He’d already been convicted. Joe
Tacopina had placed that call to Bernie’s home. As the lawyer spoke, Kerik, sensing he needed to document what was being said, reached for the recorder.
In this chat, despite allegations that Tacopina had been cozy with the government, he tells Bernie: “I love you, brother. I’ve got your back.”
