When Sebastian Gorka asked Jeanine Pirro on his radio show if she would do a live event with him, she admitted she was worried Fox News would fire her, the Daily Beast reports.
Said Pirro: “You know what, they suspended me. And I’m not going to get fired. You know? I’m worried that that suspension was the basis to tee up for anything I do wrong, they’ll fire me.”
Washington Post: “For a while, Trump considered Pirro for a Washington job, interviewing her for a top Justice Department position under Jeff Sessions — a job she lobbied hard to get, according to a senior administration official. But Sessions blocked the appointment, the official said, after which Pirro attacked Sessions on her show for recusing himself from the Russia investigation.”
Jeanine Pirro returned to Fox News after two weeks off the air and let loose with a tirade against the “traitorous, treasonous” investigators who probed President Trump’s ties to Russia, claiming another “coup” may be in the works if Trump’s accusers don’t “face behind the bars justice.”
Among her guests was Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who praised her as a “crusader for justice.” Giuliani also called for the Justice Department to investigate those “who tried to perpetrate a fraud against the American people” and said former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe “should be in jail for perjury.”
Fox News host Jeanine Pirro said that she believes various forces in Washington have conspired to “frame” President Trump and bog down his administration with scandal and controversy, The Hill reports.
Said Pirro: “Nobody is looking at the corruption. It’s all one-sided, the corruption on the part of the Democrats. This president was framed. It’s that simple.”
“Jeanine Pirro has a top-rated Fox News show and a forthcoming book — Lies, Leakers, and Liberals — but she still wants to be President Trump’s attorney general,” Politico reports.
“A former prosecutor and judge, Pirro has repeatedly told Trump’s aides and advisers over the past 18 months that she’s interested in taking over as the nation’s top law enforcement official… Trump has dangled the possibility of giving her a top appointment.”
