Inside the salacious scandal that derailed Jeanine Pirro's political career (BARF ALERT)
nbc ^ | 5/9/2025 | Rich Schapiro

Long before she was a Fox News host who pushed pro-Trump election conspiracy theories, Jeanine Pirro was an ambitious New York politician whose career stalled after she was recorded plotting to bug her then-husband’s boat to catch him in an affair.

The revelation rocked Pirro’s campaign for New York attorney general nearly 20 years ago, resulting in days of front-page headlines in the city’s tabloids (“BUG THIS LOVE BOAT!” blared the Daily News cover).

The conversation took place in 2005 between Pirro and the former commissioner of the New York Police Department, Bernard Kerik, a close ally of Rudy Giuliani’s.

“What am I supposed to do, Bernie? Watch him f--- her every night?” Pirro said, according to a transcript obtained by WNBC-TV’s Jonathan Dienst in 2006. “What am I supposed to do? I can go on the boat. I’ll put the f-----g thing on myself.”

She didn’t actually do anything, she just talked about it.

How is that a scandal?

Why is she wrong for trying to catch her husband? I guess the Democratic standard of conduct is everybody cheats.

Wow, the derpstate is pretty panicked. Watch for the MSM to parrot the “salacious” mockingbird memo for the next couple of days.

If thoughts were crimes, everyone would be in prison.

Nothing burger.

I was hoping the scandal was something worth reading. Like maybe she shot a democrat female having an affair with her husband.

She didn’t actually do anything, she just talked about it.

And even if she did, what's the problem?

Her husband was indeed having an affair with a mistress.

Spouses who suspect cheating do this stuff all of the time. Not sure it's even illegal within the laws of matrimony.

Because he was cheating on her with another woman and not a man. That’s the scandal.

Her big issue running against hillary was a disastrous press conference to open her campaign where she did not have the script and looked completely lost. The media never let her live that down while turning their head to lie after lie spewed by hillary...

Tillis is fixated on the trees and can’t, or won’t, see the forest.
