Zohran Mamdani taps ex-con rapper who served 7 years for armed robbery as criminal justice adviser on transition team:

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has picked a controversial rapper who did seven years in state prison for armed robbery to advise him on the criminal justice system, The Post has learned.

Mysonne Linen, 49, a Bronx convict-turned-activist who was found guilty of two felony heists in the late 1990s, was appointed by the democratic socialist to sit on his mayoral transition’s “criminal legal system” committee — just one of many questionable picks.

What’s “questionable” about this pick?

Sounds like someone with the requisite experience :oldthumbsup:

Seven years? I guess that's some experience, but nowhere as good as the 20 years that Trump's pardon czar put in for dealing in tons of Colombian cocaine.

I am not surprised. I have no doubt that Mamdani will have very many more extreme picks.

Good to see people arguing that convicted fellons should be barred from working for state or federal governments.
