Stringer: Mayor de Blasio’s NYPD Phone Call – ‘Problematic’

New York City comptroller Scott Stringer called Wednesday reports about Mayor Bill de Blasio�s phone call to police officials inquiring about the arrest of a political ally, Bishop Orlando Findlayter, “problematic.�

Speaking to reporters outside City Hall, Stringer said, �I think the rule is the mayor shouldn’t be involved in any way about somebody�s arrest.�

“It�s something that, it can only be problematic. … Once a mayor makes a call like that, it�s problematic because it raises questions, even though your intentions were good, when you do make that call, you do have to answer a lot of questions.”
