Silver disbarred

From Politico:

Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who was convicted on felony corruption charges last year relating to the confluence of his work as a lawyer and a lawmaker, has been disbarred.

Silver automatically lost his Assembly seat upon his conviction, and on Tuesday, a state court revoked his ability to practice law.

Halloran disbarred

From NY Law Journal:

A former New York City councilman from Queens who was convicted of bribery last year and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison in March has been disbarred.

Daniel Halloran, 44, who was found guilty in July 2014 for his role in a scheme to get former Democratic state Sen. Malcolm Smith to run as a Republican in the 2013 race for New York City mayor, was automatically disbarred, said an Appellate Division, Second Department panel on July 1, which ordered his name stricken from the roll of attorneys.

Paul Vallone threatens Dennis Saffran with disbarment

It happens at about 11:00 in the above video. Saffran's response is brilliant.



In the second video, Vallone claims to have met with Manhattan members of the city council in a private meeting to nix the rumored high school in Whitestone. He also claims that Bill DeBlasio sought him out to walk next to in a parade, which shows you exactly what is of utmost importance to the Vallones.

Later on in Douglaston, Vallone lied and said CB7 voted against the shopping mall in the park. They voted yes. Video coming soon.

Ask yourself who sounds more like legislative material and who sounds like a lying, raving lunatic making things up as he goes along. I think the answer is clear.

This was taped at the Bayside Historical Society's debate this past week.
