However, don't believe everything you hear, or read until all the facts are sorted out. There are bound to be more questions about key authentications, mail file messages and her private server.

Submitted by Admin on

The legendary laggard NYC Mayor de Blasio continues to show up late, while he blames late-running meetings at Gracie Mansion.

Noticeably late to NYPD Officer Rafael Ramos's memorial, the embattled Mayor Bill de Blasio made it to the service only just before its conclusion. He's been late so many times, including a Flight 587 memorial service in nearby Belle Harbor last year that he missed a moment of silence for the victims.
