Minuteman,
I suspect those 2 ladies will have much bigger problems with the NY State Bar Association than the criminal justice system. They take the character and fitness requirement more seriously than other States. I am a member of the NY state bar for many years and have been asked to be a character witness for other attorneys applying for admission to the bar. They require a detailed affidavit addressing specific elements.
On the other hand, being a member of the NY bar reminds me of the song Hotel California- "you can check in, but you can never leave." I have not practice in NY since about 1996 but I renew my license every 2 years for $375. I looked into resigning from the NY bar since I am fairly well entrenched in CT, but discovered it's extremely difficult to do so and actually easier to pay the $375 every 2 years. When I renewed this year I noted that really the only 2 choices they give you are to pay up or provide them with a Certificate of Retirement. I am not retired yet so I have to keep paying.
I think those 2 ladies could have character issues with the State bar authorities. If I were them I would be more worried about the State Bar than the criminal aspect. Suspensions can be an economic gut punch.

How reckless, how irresponsible, how mean, how crude," Cuomo said. "He should apologize for that tweet."
What Trump said: This morning, Trump tweeted about the incident questioning whether it was a "set up." The President claimed in his tweet that the man, Martin Gugino, "fell harder than he was pushed."
Video of the demonstration Thursday showed a row of officers walking toward the man and two pushing him. His head bled onto the sidewalk as officers walked past him, some looking down at him. Gugino is still hospitalized, but out of the ICU, his lawyer said.
Today, Cuomo called Trump's suggestions "reprehensible" and "dumb."
"You think the blood coming out of his head was staged?" Cuomo asked. "You saw his head hit the pavement, you see blood on the pavement."

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin could receive more than $1 million in pension benefits during his retirement years even if he is convicted of killing George Floyd.
Pay with taxpayers' money.
Pay to get killed. It reminds me of the James Bond title: "License to kill"

Some areas of Minneapolis are said to look like Coventry after the Blitz, but at least transgender people and women will be allowed to go topless in the city's parks. Obviously local politicians have their priorities straight.

St Louis couple charged for pointing guns at protesters
Mark and Patricia McCloskey are charged with unlawful use of a weapon over the incident in St Louis.
www.bbc.com
A husband and wife have been charged with unlawful use of a weapon for pointing guns at demonstrators outside their home in St Louis, Missouri.
Lawyers Mark and Patricia McCloskey drew guns on racial justice protesters marching through the grounds of their $1.15m mansion last month.
The couple said they armed themselves because they felt threatened.
But St Louis' top prosecutor said their actions had risked creating violence at an otherwise peaceful protest.
"It is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner at those participating in non-violent protest, and while we are fortunate this situation did not escalate into deadly force, this type of conduct is unacceptable in St Louis," said Kim Gardner, who is the city's first black circuit attorney.
Trump shares video of couple threatening protesters at gunpoint.

St Louis is known world over as a peaceful prosperous city, so it is no doubt unconscionable that someone would even think of defending their house from a mob of intruders.

The "first black circuit attorney" most certainly got her priorities straight.

Competing armed militias in Louisville, Kentucky: Not Fucking Around Coalition (NFAC) militia marching to demand justice for Breonna Taylor, an ER technician who was fatally shot by officers in March. While the Three Percenters militia decided that the local police needed their help. Yeah, just a regular sunny Saturday 
Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch shld invite Trump’s Secret Police to visit his home state of Kentucky, that will really unite these competing armed militias.

Everybody knows that BLM and Antifa are both domestic terrorist groups financed by democrats in another attempt to win over Trump. Has nothing to do with Black rights or “social justice”. They terrorize, loot, burn cities and the worst is that they're so stupid, cities they burn are all ran by democrats, go figure. They are as worst or equally dangerous than white supremacists, neo-nazi or other far-right groups.

White House protest account disputed by National Guard officer
A National Guard major will say that police escalated the 1 June protest in Lafayette Park.
www.bbc.com
Can’t wait to hear what Major has to say
Since he ran for congress as a politician he will stand behind his President and defend him.
No wait, scrap that he ran as a Democrat which explains why he was invited to testify and whatever he says I have a hunch will be Twitted away by Trump as fake news.
End of that debate, next....
Isn't this getting too predictable and boring by now.
It is like watching CNN for half an hour and then switching to Fox for the same, both good for a laugh or a cry take your pick, pity that today’s news channels and media have become a joke.

Ok so he didn’t go to pay his respects so what.
He sent his VP and his wife isn’t that what they are for to represent the President when he can’t be there.
He lowered the White House flags to half mast to acknowledge and honour his work.
Would you go to pay your respects to someone who said you weren’t a legitimate President.
If he would have gone now you would be accusing him of being a hypocrite.
