WASHINGTON — I first met Rudy Giuliani in 1986 when I was a Times reporter writing about corruption cases in New York.
Gotham was awash in so much municipal sleeze, a detective joked that city employees were streaming into the F.B.I.
Giuliani, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, got in a kerfuffle with Robert Morgenthau, the storied Manhattan district attorney who was a model for the D.A.
in “Law & Order,” because Rudy considered the local prosecutor to be superfluous, so he wasn’t sharing information.
Giuliani, 41, was already renowned as a scourge of organized crime.
