Hynes probe looks at payments to cronies

Charles Hynes didn’t use his slush fund just to pay for a campaign consultant — he doled out the cash to at least two cronies, and the feds want to know who else.

Investigators are already analyzing payments the former Brooklyn DA allegedly made to a campaign consultant from the fund, which was full of money seized from criminal defendants.

Probers are looking at every payment from the forfeiture fund with an eye on money that went to consultants and to 32 neighborhood outreach centers Hynes set up, The Post has learned.

Among those paid were Lisa Smith, a Brooklyn Law School professor and former assistant DA under Hynes, and Larry Morrish, a Bay Ridge community activist, a source told The Post.
