Pirro TV

tjndc5-5bhwlon7y0p93bk56jw_layout .jpg For all of you who speculated Jeanine Pirro’s next stop would be on TV, you could be right. The New York Post is reporting this morning that Pirro has inked a $1 million deal with Warner Brothers to host her own daytime show next fall.

The former Westchester DA has been out of work since losing the attorney general’s race to Andrew Cuomo in November.

Details are scant, but the Post says Warner Bros. “is expected to show Pirro off to local TV station execs to gauge their interest” at a trade show next week in Las Vegas.

Read the story here.

    BINGO!...THATS THE REASON FOR THE NEW YORK MAG ARTICLE
    IT WAS ALL IN CONTEMPLATION OF A LOSS IN THE AG
    RACE AND IN RAISING HER TO CONTROVERSIAL CELEBRITY
    STATUS..AND IT APPARENTLY PAID OFF

    Maybe she will reveal her secrets of putting innocent men in jail. Trial by media, withhold brady material,make deal with criminals for their false testimony, tamper with evidence, and we can only guess what else. I hope the US Attorney has different plans for her like spending some time behind bars like Al did.

    The Westchester Guardian – January 4, 2007

    In Our Opinion

    It’s beginning to look more and more as though Giulio Cavallo’s political pimping days are over, and he will soon be trading in his Armanis for Federal Prison Stripes. We believe what he has been engaged in for several years, in his capacity with the Westchester County Independence Party, comes under the heading of ELECTION FRAUD. He has been the Axis of Corruption in Westchester.

    The People of New York State, one of only five states in the Union to permit cross-endorsement, are just beginning to open their eyes to the scandal that has been state, and local government. Under cross-endorsement, parties such as the Independence Party do not have to field their own candidates for public office. They are permitted to ‘sell’ their endorsement, together with the votes of most of

    those registered to them, to the highest bidder. In Westchester, those votes, often more than 17,000 countywide, can, and have, decided far too many elections.

    Cavallo, who for years held a six-figure, Pataki appointed, position with the State Health Department, most recently has been “employed� by a state senator from Queens, courtesy of former Republican ‘Boss of Bosses,’ Nick Spano. But Cavallo has worked both sides of the street, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the gutter with snipes such as Larry Schwartz, particularly in the effort to elect Jeanine Pirro District Attorney in 2001, and numerous other candidates in “fixed� elections.

    It is well known that for fifteen to twenty–thousand dollars, or more, Cavallo has put the Independence Party’s seal of approval on scores of candidates, including numerous individuals now sitting as County, and State Supreme Court Judges. All those

    elected officials who paid the toll to the Axis of Corruption are beholden to Cavallo, and are, therefore, suspect and untrustworthy. In reality, Cavallo is nothing more than a political pimp, and those who have paid him are simply prostitutes.

    There can be little doubt that United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Michael Garcia, and the federal attorneys and investigators working with him, have had Cavallo, Dhyalma Vazquez, his girlfriend and co-conspirator, as well as Mario Castaldo in the crosshairs of their sights, as well as Larry Schwartz, David Hebert, Nick Spano, and other co-conspirators too numerous to detail, for some time now. After all, if the Justice Department is to fulfill the mandate set out by President Bush, “to clean up the corruption in the suburbs north of New York City,� surely they must focus first on all of the election fraud that has been synonymous with Westchester politics for years. Quite simply, if the Right of Free and Unfettered

    Elections is not guaranteed, no other Constitutional Right can be guaranteed.

    The Westchester Guardian is gratified by the actions of Nader Sayegh, and numerous genuine and honest card-carrying Independence Party members, who, over this past year have stood up to Cavallo and his henchmen, opposing them in intra-party elections, and challenging their unlawful antics in State Supreme Court.

    Judge Denis Donovan, while perhaps leaving something to be desired in much of his activity in the Matrimonial Part, nevertheless, must be recognized, and applauded, for his right-minded actions in presiding over the petition brought by Michael J. Lehrer, et al, as “Petitioners against Giulio Cavallo, Dhyalma Vazquez, Mario Castaldo, and the Westchester County Committee of the Independence Party, and the Westchester County Board of Elections, and New York State Board of Elections.� It is clear, both from Judge Donovan’s Findings Of Fact and Conclusions Of Law, that he is onto Cavallo’s game, and is not about to compromise the interests of honest Independence Party members or Westchester voters.

    We are confident, going forward, that not only will Guilio Cavallo, and those who have done unlawful business with him, be apprehended, and carted off to prison, but also that decent well-meant citizens will come forward to fill the ranks of the Independence Party.

    Joe Spiezio = Corruption combined with hypocrisy.

    A star developer has spotty history ©The Journal News (2003) (Original publication: June 22, 2003)

    In an interview, Spiezio took credit for a 2001 sweep by inspectors that shut nine businesses. The closings prompted some to say he went too far.

    “He’s part of a small clique that is helping decide which buildings are being targeted for violations,� said attorney Debra Cohen, who represents downtown property owners opposed to the ballpark.

    At the same time, federal and city records show, some of his Yonkers properties were written up for various safety violations.

    The Journal News also found:

    • The Westchester District Attorney’s Office suspected Spiezio in three building fires in Yonkers and Greenburgh during the 1990s. One incident involved a 1995 arson that destroyed his nearly completed “dream house,� over which he remains embroiled in litigation regarding an unpaid insurance claim for almost $2 million.
