THE THIN BLUE LINE
Officer Sal Greco was fired Monday after the NYPD brought internal charges in February accusing him of associating with Stone, who had been convicted of lying to Congress in 2019 and sentenced to 40 months in prison before he was pardoned by Trump. Longstanding NYPD rules bar officers from associating with known felons.
Greco was with Stone at his sentencing hearing in Washington in 2020, and again at a Washington hotel on the weekend of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. There was no indication he participated in the storming of the Capitol.
During the departmental trial, which took place in March and April, the NYPD alleged that Greco was armed and acting as Stone’s paid bodyguard. The department also alleged Greco had ties to the far-right Oathkeepers group, which provided security to Stone and were key in the attempted insurrection.
Greco was also accused of association with former Manhattan Madam Kristin Davis, another Stone pal who was also in Washington on the weekend of the Capitol riot. Davis pleaded guilty to a federal drug charge in 2014 and served 18 months in prison.
Greco says the reason he was fired was because he’s a supporter of Trump’s.
