Jeanine Pirro's fanatic foaming at the mouth devotion to Trump Blowshard earns her some attention:
..... Pirro's was praised by many for her passion as Domestic Violence Bureau Chief, but she increasingly attracted criticism from colleagues over attention grabbing behavior and violations of tradition. Pirro was, on multiple occasions, spoken to by the Chief Assistant District Attorney due to her violating office policy by issuing press releases with her name on top, rather than Vergari's. The relationship between Pirro and Vergari disintegrated in the late 1980s, after Pirro claimed sole responsibility for the establishment of the Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Bureau. [8]
...........
Vergari, who served as District Attorney for Pirro's entire tenure as an Assistant District Attorney and her time on the bench, critiqued Pirro in 1999 as "bright and capable", and someone who "plays hardball seeking publicity" but is also "very self-centered in everything she does". [3] ......
That was while she was an assistant DA. Later she became District Attorney of Westchester County NY. While she was DA, she signed fraudulent joint tax returns for which her husband went to prison.
.... By the late 1990s, Albert Pirro had become a powerful lobbyist, Republican donor, and associate of Donald Trump, who described him as "incredibly intelligent and effective" and said that "there's no one like him" in Westchester. Albert Pirro's specialty was dealing with local boards and permits in Westchester, and he had made millions working for clients including Trump, Viacom, and ITT Inc. This allowed the couple, who had become close friends of George and Libby Pataki, to live a life of luxury in a $1.7 million Harrison house, with a vacation property in West Palm Beach, a Ferrari, and two Mercedes-Benz vehicles. [31] [32]
Federal indictment, trial, and imprisonment of husband[ edit]On February 23, 1999, Albert Pirro was indicted by the office of United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Mary Jo White on one count of conspiracy, four counts of tax evasion, and 28 counts of filing a false tax return for hiding over $1 million in personal income as business expenses between 1988 and 1997, including the $123,000 cost of his Ferrari, two Mercedes for Jeanine and her mother, $40,000 on electronic gates at their home, $10,000 on furnishings at their vacation house, $3,700 on the back-yard of their home, cruise tickets, fine wine, and the salaries of domestic help. ...
.......
On June 23, 2000, Albert Pirro was convicted of all 34 charges against him after 4 days of deliberations, with Anthony Pirro being found guilty of 23 charges and not guilty of 10. [39]The conviction was so damaging to her political career that she seriously considered resigning from her position as a Westchester District Attorney to accept a more lucrative post in the private sector. [40] Albert Pirro was sentenced to 29 months in federal prison on November 2, 2000, receiving some leniency in exchange for waiving his right to appeal. [41]
Federal investigation for conspiracy to wiretap husband[ edit]In the midst of her 2006 state attorney general campaign, Pirro revealed she was the subject of a federal investigation into whether she illegally taped her husband's conversations to catch him committing adultery. [42] The couple announced they were separating in November 2007 and finalized their divorce in 2013. [43] [44]
After her husband was released from prison, Pirro received significant political contributions from his associates, including contractors and realtors who had done business with her husband, for her several unsuccessful attempts to hold higher office. [45]
The Hoarse Whisperer? @HoarseWisperer Oct 28
In true Trumpian logic, Pirro didn't blame her husband's conviction and her scuttled political hopes on his actual crimes or her involvement
Naw, that would make too much sense. Instead, the District Attorney who signed fraudulent returns blamed her troubles on... Hillary Clinton.
Is it any wonder someone whose husband has gone to federal prison and who has been recorded by the FBI conspiring to commit a crime might be hostile to the FBI? Jeanine wants the FBI purged and all who aren't loyal to the person of President Blowhard arrested.
It's still true ... people who hate the FBI are either criminals or Russian agents. |
