Drip, drip, drip. WNBC in New York is reporting that Kerik may never have filled out the proper forms that would have allowed for a background check for him to become police commissioner either.
Late Update: A reader tells me that this is the form in question.
Even Later Update: The Times has a detailed piece on claims by the city Department of Investigations that they have “been unable to find any evidence that Mr. Kerik had filled out a background form, as usually required, before his appointment to the post by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.” Pay particular note to the discrepancy between what experts say Giuliani should have been told, or would normally have been told, and what he claims he was, or rather wasn’t, told.
