Feds Probe Pirro on Eavesdropping Charge

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Republican state attorney general candidate Jeanine Pirro
said Wednesday she is under federal investigation for allegedly plotting
to secretly record her husband to find out whether he was having an affair.

In the draft of a statement she planned to release at a New York City news
conference, Pirro said "nothing happened here that is, or should be, the
business of the United States attorney's office."

"Sometime last year, I came to believe that my husband was seeing another
woman. I was angry and had him followed to see if what I suspected was true,"
she said in the statement, provided to The Associated Press. "Although I spoke
about taping him, there was no wiretapping by me of anyone. There was anger,
and frustration, and nothing more."

Two people familiar with the situation, who spoke to the AP on condition
of anonymity because Pirro had scheduled the afternoon conference, said she
was overheard by authorities having a telephone conversation with former New
York City Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik in the middle of last year. They said
that Pirro suspected her husband, Albert Pirro, might be having an affair and
that she and Kerik, a private security consultant, discussed possibly placing
a recorder in a room to listen in on him.

1. So Pirro is worried about her husband cheating on her

so she goes to Bernie Kerik to help her out? Oh sure. I bet he helped her out in more ways then one. Maybe he even took her to his little love nest overlooking Ground Zero?

2. Pirro and Kerik... what a combo!

I used to think Pirro was smart. I was wrong. She might be the dumbest rethug an NY State.
