Outgoing Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and New York City Councilman David Greenfield campaigning on Tuesday, election day, with a large campaign ad showing Hynes with the Munkatcher Rebbe, the haredi go-to person to prevent Jews from being sentenced to prison or to get them out if already sentenced. "He [Hynes] helped us, he helps us, and he will help us some more," the ad reads. If you're an arrested (or even a convicted) pedophile, the Munkatcher Rebbe is the man who helps you stay out of prison, and that is well known in the haredi community – and in the DA's office.
