Former D.A. Hynes Suspected of Criminal Misconduct
Former longtime Brooklyn district attorney Charles Hynes is accused of misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars seized from criminal suspects to pay for a political consultant, according to a report by the city’s Department of Investigation.
The DOI report alleges Hynes may have engaged in crimes of official misconduct and larceny.
Hynes is also accused of using his office computer to send hundreds of campaign-related emails in the recent bitter campaign he lost to current Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson.
The report also alleges that criminal court Judge Barry Kamins may have violated judicial ethics by actively advising Hynes in his campaign, including exchanging more than 300 emails with Hynes during the recent campaign.
The report detailing Hynes’ alleged misuse of asset forfeiture funds has been referred to the state attorney general’s office for possible criminal investigation, sources familiar with the case told NBC New York.
As for Kamins, the DOI report alleges the judge engaged in political activity while he was a sitting judge and used his office to try to advance Hynes’ political goals. Part of that effort included using his connections to the New York Law Journal to try to obtain positive media coverage for Hynes, the report alleges.
A court spokesman said Kamins has been “relieved of all of his administrative duties both as overseeing policy and planning and in overseeing New York City’s criminal courts.”

can someone look into the Judge’s involvement with the FBI as a possible violation of judicial ethics? or does that only work for political opponents?

Former District Attorney Charles J. Hynes maliciously prosecuted the Shomrim Six, when he knew he had no case.
After the first witness/Mosser Shuki Gur testified, the Judge Albert Tomei, wanted to drop the case immediately. So much so that while everyone was sitting there, he attempted to phone Charles J. Hynes and inform him that this case was going to go nowhere and fast. Unfortunately, he did not reach Hynes at the time.
What was discussed after court (later that night) between Judge Tomei and DA Hynes, we will never know. What we do know is that the next day the court proceedings continued as if nothing had ever happened.
It seems that Hynes was very persistence and determined to prosecute six innocent people, even-though the judge on the case was attempting to convince him he had no case.
The question I have now, considering the above corruption charges, is how much money did the Chanina Sperlin family and the corrupt cabal of Crown Heights, give Mr. Hynes to go through with the trial?
It’s a matter of time until those emails are exposed.
