Regarding Richard Donoghue

He is an ex military prosecutor

From 1993 to 2000, Mr. Donoghue served on active duty in the U.S. Army JAG Corps, where he held positions including Military Magistrate Judge, Prosecutor, Defense Counsel and Contract Litigator. From 1993 through 1995, he served as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division.

If a state of emergency were to be declared, would he therefore be able to head up Military Tribunals in NY State ?
