Pirro was a small claims judge for a few years, 35 years ago. Pirro's husband accepted bribes for her, but her husband took the rap for her. She later got him pardoned by trump. The involvement with bribes ended her political career, or at least should have. No one would elect her for anything. trump appointing her to anything just shows how willing trump is to ignore even the most basic morals.
Wow, almost sort of right...
Jeanine Pirro was a County Court Judge in Westchester County, New York, from 1991 to 1993. She was the first woman elected to this position in the county. Her judicial role involved presiding over cases in the Westchester County Court, which typically handles felony criminal cases, major civil cases, and other legal matters within the county’s jurisdiction.
Other things she did:
Assistant District Attorney (1975–1990): She worked in Westchester County, becoming the first woman to prosecute murder cases there. She also founded one of the nation’s first domestic violence units.
District Attorney (1994–2005): Pirro was elected as Westchester County’s District Attorney, the first woman in that role, serving three terms. She gained recognition for her work on domestic abuse cases, crimes against the elderly, and establishing specialized units for hate crimes, elder abuse, and internet pedophile stings.
Later, Pirro transitioned to television, hosting
Judge Jeanine Pirro (2008–2011), a syndicated courtroom show where she acted as an arbitrator, and
Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News (2011–2022), focusing on legal commentary. While these shows used her judicial background, they were not judicial roles but rather media platforms where she leveraged her legal expertise.
Now her husband was convicted of tax evasion in 2000 but she was elected to office in 2001 so it is unlikely that ended her career, though there were other scandals she was involved in, like the "Bug this Love Boat" scandal (look that one up) that probably did.
Irony
