According to the NY Post, "Indictments could be imminent as a federal grand jury meets this week in an ongoing probe of the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office under former prosecutor Charles Hynes, a source told The Post.

Investigators have been scrutinizing the operation of the office, including allegations that Hynes improperly used money forfeited by criminals.

Hynes, meanwhile, recently suffered a “serious and incapacitating stroke,” according to his lawyer’s office. Hynes, 81, served as DA for 23 years before losing a re-election bid to Ken Thompson in 2013.

The city Department of Investigation found that Judge Barry Kamins improperly gave Hynes campaign advice and communicated with him on cases.

The DOI also found Hynes paid political consultant Mortimer Matz with forfeiture funds.

Hynes’ lawyer, Robert Hill Schwartz, is recovering from open-heart surgery and was unable to comment." See post story here...http://nypost.com/2016/05/28/indictments-looming-in-probe-of-ex-brooklyn-da-charles-hynes/ 

I always said, there must be open transparency where forfeiture money ends up. People need to learn from Moses about accountability as noted in Exodus section on Pekudei. 

It is interesting how you read the get out of jail medical card. Unfortunately, that does not work in Federal Prison. They have medical prisons too.

If indicted and convicted, what can they expect in Federal Prison? I am no stranger as I sat 1316 days in Federal prison. To read more about it...go here..https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011GTWLOG
