U.S. Investigating Pirro’s Talk of Taping Spouse

By PATRICK HEALY
Published: September 28, 2006

Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating whether Jeanine F. Pirro, the Republican candidate for state attorney general, and Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, illegally taped conversations of Ms. Pirro’s husband last year to determine if he was having an affair.

At a hastily arranged news conference yesterday, called because of an imminent television report on the inquiry, Ms. Pirro conceded that she had her husband, Albert, followed in the summer of 2005. She said she had discussed bugging the family’s boat with Mr. Kerik, an old friend who was then running his own security business. But Ms. Pirro, who was the district attorney of Westchester County at the time, said she never went through with the plan, and she insisted that she broke no laws.

Seething with anger, and choking up as she laid bare her marital problems, Ms. Pirro said that two federal agents approached her at her home late one recent night and revealed that the United States attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York was investigating her surveillance discussions. They had been caught on tape by Bronx authorities who were conducting a separate investigation of Mr. Kerik.

So not only did the feds catch Pirro breaking the law, they did it while investigating former GOP golden boy Kerik on a totally unrelated matter.

Re: ANOTHER Republican Scandal

Another rotten corrupt public official who should feel the swift sword of justice, unfortunately it is framed as Dem/Republican... makes no difference anyone who abuses their power should be prosecuted vigorously.

Re: ANOTHER Republican Scandal

Don't people hire PI's to tape their spouse's to see if they are cheating?

Is that illegal?

Re: ANOTHER Republican Scandal

Huh? I guess I should've been in jail a long time ago. I used to follow my Ex around when I was 19. I thought she was seeing some other dude.

This is a silly post. If you posted soemthing about the dude the feds were investigating then great. Citing a woman who was trying to find out if her husband was having an affair is idiotic. Whats next? We going to post a thread about a politician pissing on the side of the road?

Post about corrupt politicians, not human ones.
