NYC Mayor's Legal Fund Cuts Ties to Famous PI Over Obscene Rant at Reporter

[Bo] Dietl’s company was hired to vet donors to Adams’ legal defense trust — a fundraising entity to help pay legal bills connected to a federal probe into Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign. In January, the organization paid Dietl’s firm just under $13,000 — an expense first reported by the Daily News, whose reporter Dietl reportedly cursed at this week.

When asked for comment Wednesday afternoon about the services he was paid to perform for the trust, Dietl told a POLITICO reporter: “Why don’t you do me a favor. Go suck somebody’s dick, because I don’t want to talk to you, OK? You like to suck dick? Go suck dick somewhere.” He then hung up the phone.

Less than two hours after being informed of Dietl’s remarks, the trust’s counsel, Vito Pitta, condemned Dietl and told POLITICO he would be let go.

You know, a simple "no comment" is always a better option. Dietl is a colorful character; he routinely makes appearances in the media and even played himself in the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. (And he was pretty good, too, in his small role.) One would think that the former cop and longtime public figure would have better self-control.
