Jeanine Pirro takes a lesson from friend T-rump: Stiffs vendors out of nearly $600,000
FOX chucklehead Jeanine Pirro, longtime friend and sycophant of T-rump, has taken a lesson from the President and has decided to screw vendors out of nearly $600,000 from her disastrous failed US Senate campaign to unseat Hillary Clinton in 2006. Pirro was running to be the Republican candidate yet dropped out after a few short months.
Her campaign was still financially active (because of unpaid debts) up until last weekend, when a lawyer for Pirro informed the Federal Election Commission that Pirro's debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars she still owes her campaign vendors are now deemed 'uncollectible', per the six-year statute of limitations for the collection of contractual debts under New York State law.
In addition to not paying her vendors for the past 13 years, she also stopped filing legally required financial reports with the FEC in 2012. Despite the constant reminders from 2013 till now, Pirro ignored her responsibilities until last weekend.
Although Pirro never paid dozens of hard-working individuals who worked on her failed campaign (which shut down after just a few months), she continued to pay off her debt to attorney Bruce Bellmare right through 2017, with two checks totalling more than $8,000. Bellmare works at the same law office as Pirro's ex-husband.
Just remember that folks, next time Pirro stumps for T-rump, and says they're looking out for all Americans.
