ALBANY - In a devastating blow to her campaign, Republican attorney-general candidate Jeanine Pirro admitted yesterday she is under federal investigation for discussing with former city Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik how to secretly record her bad-boy husband to see if he was cheating.
Bombshell transcripts of conversations between Pirro and Kerik reveal that an angry Pirro even offered to plant the bug herself on her husband's boat, where she believed he was having sex with another woman.
"What am I supposed to do, Bernie? Watch him f- - - her every night?" Pirro is quoted as saying on the transcripts, obtained by WNBC-TV. "What am I supposed to do? . . . I can go on the boat, I'll put the f- - -ing thing on myself."
U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia confirmed his office is "investigating allegations recently brought to our attention by other law-enforcement agencies" and is working with the FBI and Pirro's old District Attorney's Office in Westchester County.
Garcia is looking into whether Pirro engaged in illegal wiretapping, which carries a five-year maximum prison sentence.
The conversations between Pirro and Kerik came to light as federal investigators tapped the former NYPD commissioner's phone during an unrelated investigation, according to sources.
Pirro, who has hired a lawyer, was Westchester County DA in the summer of 2005 and gearing up for a run against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton when she became convinced that husband Al was being unfaithful and she wanted to catch him in the act.
In one conversation, Pirro complained to Kerik, who heads a private security firm, that one of his workers was reluctant to board Al Pirro's boat.
Kerik said: "But Jeanine, I'm having the same f- - -ing problem with everybody. Everybody is panic-stricken because it's you. I've gone out on a limb. I've had two other people looking at this. It's a problem."
Soon after, according to the transcript, Kerik asked a contact at Rudy Giuliani's consulting firm to find him a recording device, WNBC/Channel 4 reported. A Giuliani spokeswoman had no comment.
