When Hank Asher reached into the bag and pulled out the two $15,000 gold Cartier watches, the holiday crowd at Carmine's restaurant on 44th Street in Manhattan noticed, patrons recalled. Later, so did the U.S. attorney in Orange County, Calif., and soon yet another of Rudy Giuliani's business partners was embroiled in a bribery case.
Asher, identified by the initials H.A. in Overt Act 59 of a federal grand jury indictment against Orange County sheriff Michael Carona, had handed the diamond-encrusted Cartier baubles to the wives of the sheriff and his deputy, and with that, assured himself a place in a federal indictment that was looming.
Asher is not charged with any crime in the indictment. But his expensive gifts are clearly part of the corruption investigation.

Giuliani's arrogance and lack of morality are showing more daily. He consorts with criminals, uses government funds to take care of his mistess, and recommends for federal appointment a buddy guilty of the same failings.
How can he be considered for President? He would rob the taxpayers blind for his own benefit and the benefit of his buddies. He thinks himself above the law and norms of society.
