Fox News host Jeanine Pirro apparently failed to repay campaign debts from '06 run for Senate

[left-of-center2012]

“Judge” Jeanine Pirro is the voice of law and order in President Donald Trump’s cable news echo chamber, making it particularly noteworthy that she has been flouting federal election rules for years.

The lawyer-turned-Fox News host mounted an ill-fated run for the U.S. Senate in 2006, when she vied for the Republican nomination to challenge then-Sen. Hillary Clinton before dropping out after just four months. But in that brief period, Pirro’s campaign managed to rack up nearly $600,000 in debts to its campaign vendors.

In its last FEC filing, the committee reported that it still owed about $589,000 to 20 different vendors. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the last filing period for which the campaign submitted financials to the FEC, it didn’t report paying down any of its debts. But it did cut checks to two consultants: Bruce Bellmare, the campaign’s treasurer and an attorney at the law offices of Pirro’s husband.

Attempts to reach Pirro were not successful, and a Fox News spokesperson didn’t respond to a request for comment.

4. A true Trump cheerleader!

I still remember that press conference she called where she couldn't find her place in her notes. Shuffling through papers while the cameras rolled.

5. So pirro the scammer doesn't believe in paying her debt, eh? If so, she doesn't have any right...

to criticize or mock or judge anyone else. Hypocrite. Pay your bills!

6. When I worked in advertising, political stuff paid in advance

Deadbeats common enough not take chances.
Purchases made by election committee and no leverage for overdue bills

14. Deadbeat politicians reminds me about one of them:

I'm a graphic designer and some time ago, a print broker asked me to do posters and ads for a guy who was running for a senate seat here in MA.

I did them, hand delivered them and awaited payment.

Well, the candidate lost and refused to pay the broker, and therefore the broker refused to pay me. It was close to $1000 -- not a small amount to me.

I had to put the broker in collections and eventually, he paid a partial amount.

20. As a lawyer she has certain ethical obligations under her State Bar rules. This "could" affect her

law license. Even her conduct on her show could subject to disciplinary actions. As a lawyer in New Jersey, state bar scrutinizes everything we do And our our private and professional lives. Going on television and spelling lies, conspiracy theories and out right Propaganda while identifying herself as a judge brings the legal profession into disrepute. Any New York lawyers out there should look into the ethics and file a complaint against her
