The pair of radical lawyers who torched an empty NYPD vehicle amid protests in Brooklyn over the police killing of George Floyd pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy charges in a deal struck with federal prosecutors.

The firebug attorneys, Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, each copped to counts of conspiracy to commit arson and to make and possess an unregistered destructive device for firebombing the police van in Brooklyn on May 30, 2020, a spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office said.

Punishment for attempted murder of police? Slap on the wrist if you’re a lefty.

Then cushy jobs waiting for you after you get through the revolving door.

From the article: Mattis acted as the getaway driver ...

Oh no, he wasn't just the getaway driver. He drove to the site with the Molotov cocktails in the van. He was also offering them to other rioters.

He's a full-fledged arsonist and accessory to rioting, arson, and attempted murder.

They will be filling out their absenttee ballots as needed before they are sentenced.

I couldn't help but notice the article calls Urooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis "lawyers" instead of "former lawyers".

I can't find anything saying the korrupt New York State Bar Association disbarred them. In fact, they both show up in the New York State Unified Court System search:

the defendants’ otherwise law-abiding lives free of prior criminal convictions

Other than that, how did you enjoy the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Worth looking into. I’m thinking they have not been disbarred.

The FBI lawyer that got convicted of altering evidence got his law license back already.

Violent leftist terriorists quietly get a do over while peaceful J6 strollers in deep state DC solitary confinement.

I’m not in favor of dictatorship but if I were in charge, heads would literally roll.

“Under the plea deal cemented Thursday, prosecutors will not seek the enhancement, and will request for a maximum sentence of two years in prison.”

They need to be locked up for longer if they torched a police vehicle. Jan. 6th protesters have been jailed for over a year.

- possess an unregistered destructive device for firebombing the police van -

Would it have been OK if they had registered the destructive device?
