Jeanine Pirro Under Investigation for Using Kerik to
Tape Husband

I don't want Jeanine Pirro to win the election for New York Attorney General, but I'm sorry to see her personal life splashed all over the papers. This is really sordid. I also don't wish a federal investigation on anyone, especially over marital problems.

Shorter version: Pirro had Bernie Kerik bug her husband to find out about his mistress. This is the same husband who went to jail a few years ago for tax evasion, where Jeanine wasn't indicted because she had innocent spouse status even though she signed the return. The feds were tapping Bernie in 2005 on an unrelated matter and they caught his coversations with Jeanine. Now she's under investigation.

Sources told NewsChannel 4 that in one conversation, Pirro allegedly complained that one of Kerik's employees is reluctant to board Albert Pirro's boat. Jeanine Pirro suggests, "We can just simply say, if there is an issue, that I am redecorating it for our anniversary." She complains that Kerik's man is, "uncomfortable with that."
Kerik responds by saying, "But Janine, I'm having the same f------g problem with everybody... everybody is panic stricken because it's you... I've gone out on a limb... I had two other people looking at this... it's a problem." Pirro says, "What am I supposed to do, Bernie? Watch him f--k her every night? What am I supposed to do?... I can go on the boat, I'll put the f-----g thing on myself."
Minutes later, Kerik apparently calls a contact at Giuliani Partners, former mayor Rudy Giuliani's consulting firm, asking him to find a recording device.
