Kevin O’Brien, a former federal prosecutor in Brooklyn who worked closely with Dearie on a public corruption case, said the office often competed with Giuliani for high-profile cases. Dearie “wasn’t overtly political at all,” said O’Brien, now a partner at Ford O’Brien Landy LLP in New York. “He labored in the shadow of Giuliani who would try to poach and take credit on at least one occasion. Ray didn’t play politics, he just went about the office’s business. Dearie as US Attorney never let Rudy Giuliani in the other district distract him from his job. He ‘will play it straight’ and do it expeditiously. He knows there’s a weighty investigation waiting in the wings.”
