GOP consultant: Fox News host 'Judge' Jeanine Pirro should have gone to prison for tax fraud

A Republican strategist said Fox News commentator "Judge" Jeanine Pirro should have joined her husband in prison.

Political consultant Cheri Jacobus bashed the former elected judge of the Westchester (New York) County Court, whose then-husband was convicted of income tax fraud in 2000.

Pirro appears regularly on Fox News, where she defends President Donald Trump and attacks Hillary Clinton and the president's other political enemies as criminals.

But Jacobus suggested the former judge and district attorney had broken the law by plotting with former city Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik how to secretly record her husband to see if he was cheating.

She also said Pirro should have been caught up in the same case that landed her former husband in prison.

"Pirro's husband went to prison for tax fraud and she should have, too," Jacobus said. "She signed the fraudulent tax returns, then claimed she didn't know they were fraudulent. She was DA at the time."
