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.”

I love that woman, she's on my bucket list to have dinner and cocktails with......
I love her but I would expect something more primitive like using a hammer or bat........
“”She didn’t actually do anything, she just talked about it.
How is that a scandal?””
Same thing should have been asked of Rod Blagojevich - he talked too much but never did anything...and still went to prison. Reading a book years ago about him was pretty disturbing and maddening....He was a man who loved to talk and still does - LOL...
THAT was my thought!
Guy cheated on her. Marriage in the crapper. Wants to get the dope on lover boy and get out. How many people are going to look askance at that? Wives bug guys boats all the time. Hell husbands bug wives boats all the time, in a manner of speaking.
Her husband was indeed having an affair with a mistress.Frankly I find her very irritating.
That is a scandal? Since when/where? In the early 90’s, I put a tracker on my 1st husband’s truck, and bugged our home phone for the same reason Pirro did-caught him with the other woman at her place. it is not illegal to do that to a spouse, as long as you don’t start shooting or other violence. He blew off marriage therapy after a few months and we separated-but the info I collected showed what he was up to when we finally divorced after 20+ years. Good for Jeanine Pirro-show everyone what the cheater is doing...
Judge Jeanine is too smart to let NY pin a violation of one of
their insane laws on her. She was angry but we have the First Amendment. Thought crime charges would have been nonsense, and NY didn’t even try.
It’s illegal to put a recording device in one’s own property?
I don’t know what NY law says, but even if is says that it is illegal, Pirro just talked about doing it.
I’m pretty sure it’s not illegal to big your own boat. Community property, right?
For anyone else curious...
Maybe someone will investigate Rich Schapiro.
Who cares?
Your comment is right on. It reminded me of what happened to Abe Lemmons. He was the legendary basketball coach for the Oklahoma City University Chiefs at the time. During one game it seemed as every call and foul was against his team. So he called a timeout, and motioned the referee over. He asked, “Can you give me a technical fouled for what I am thinking?” The ref thought about it and told Sbe no. He couldn’t call a technical for Abe’s thoughts. Abe smiled and said, “Well, I’ve been thinking, you are the sorriest official I have ever had call a game. You keep swallowing your whistle on one end of the floor. You are lousy and probably on the take.” Abe got a technical foul.

One reason they didn’t file charges. If Pirro has a confirmation hearing later, wonder what Tillis will do.
