Giuliani and Mukasey

The Washington Post reports on the long ties between Michael Mukasey and Rudy Giuliani. Yesterday, I noted that when Giuliani was a young prosecutor in the 1970s, he put indicted Democratic Congressman Bertram L. Podell under such intense cross-examination that Podell nervously poked a lens out of his eyeglasses and then pled guilty. According to today's Post article, it was Mukasey who helped Rudy prepare for the trial by playing Podell in a rehearsal.
