Jeanine “Love Bug” Pirro, GOP candidate for New York Attorney General, is under investigation for trying to spy on her husband, as we noted yesterday.

But she’s fightin’ the law! And she wants attorney general Alberto Gonzales to help her, says WCBS-TV (NY) News:

“I am calling on U.S. attorney [general], Alberto Gonzalez [sic], to begin an immediate investigation and appoint a special prosecutor to get Elliot Jacobson off his witch hunt,” Pirro told the New York Hispanic Clergy Association in the Bronx. “There needs to be a federal investigation of the felony of leaking sealed court documents.”

So she does have a working knowledge of the law after all.
