"Rudy
Giuliani's may be forced to withdraw from presidential race."
From Hannity & Colmes - 4/3/07
“In some cases, Giuliani and Kerik simultaneously
advised a private company and the federal agency whose actions
could affect it. Giuliani's firm, for instance, was hired
by Purdue Pharma to help figure out how to keep sales of
its popular painkiller OxyContin from being restricted by
the government; street dealers were crushing and converting
it into a powerful narcotic offering an instant high. Kerik
was personally named to oversee security improvements at
a New Jersey manufacturing plant. At the same time, the
Justice Department paid Giuliani-Kerik $1.1 million to conduct
a management review of the organized-crime drug task force,
whose responsibilities included stemming illegal use of
OxyContin.
