The mayor says he doesn’t want his judicial-assessment team tainted by the “loss of faith” in the legal system represented by someone in “the Epstein world.” Hmm: The mayor’s chief counsel offers confidential, high-level legal and strategic guidance, and the guy Mamdani chose for the job is Ramzi Kassem, who has seemingly spent his career defending al Qaeda terrorists. Is it any wonder many 9/11 families don’t want the mayor anywhere near Ground Zero for the 25th anniversary ceremonies? Mamdani also had no problem naming a lawyer who specializes in defending cop-killers to the judicial-advisory board. The mayor plainly has a litmus test for his legal appointments: Jewish lawyers aren’t welcome, but the door is wide open for advocates for the most violent radicals.
