George Stephanopoulos repeatedly defends the legitimacy of the Trump prosecution.

"Of course, the attorney general in Manhattan has nothing to do with the Department of Justice," Stephanopoulos rebutted.
But Scharf pushed back.
"I vehemently disagree that the district attorney in New York was not politically motivated here, and I vehemently disagree that President Biden and his political allies aren’t up their necks in this prosecution," Scharf responded.
"I think the fact that the Biden campaign —" he continued when Stephanopoulos interjected to defend Biden.

"There's no evidence here of that. Sir, there's no — there's not — I'm not going to let you continue to say that. There's just zero evidence of that," Stephanopoulos claimed.

To the contrary, Scharf then offered evidence that calls into question the potential role that Democratic politics played in the Manhattan DA's decision to prosecute the "zombie case."
"Well, how about the fact that Matthew Colangelo was standing over Alvin Bragg’s shoulder when he announced this verdict? I mean, Colangelo was the No. 3 official in the Biden Department of Justice, who suddenly disappears and shows up as an assistant district attorney right as Trump’s case in New York starts to proceed," Scharf explained.

"You want to talk about political coordination, George, it's right there in front of you," he added.

“Zombie case”, cute, “the Statute of Limitations!” argument that was nullified by the defendant, when he switched residences from New York to Florida, in 2019, thereby stopping-the-clock on the Statute’s calendar.

The very best lawyers will do the cases that they want to do, so that Colangelo would have had to resign his cushy role at Justice in order to do this particular case; did he do that?

Bragg hired Colangelo months before the Trump indictment.

"There is no collusion".

District Attorney Bragg Announces Matthew Colangelo as New Senior Counsel

“Public safety requires economic stability, and all New Yorkers deserve to live and work without risk of harassment, wage theft, or dangerous workplaces,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Matthew Colangelo brings a wealth of economic justice experience combined with complex white-collar investigations

That announcement is dated Dec. 2022, a year and a half ago.
Colangelo returned to NY after a short time with the DOJ.

“I am honored to reunite with District Attorney Bragg, my former colleague and a deeply experienced prosecutor committed to public safety in his hometown,” said Matthew Colangelo. “Expanded enforcement of worker-protection and tenant-protection laws will make our communities safer for all New Yorkers and level the playing field for responsible employers and landlords. And assisting with the District Attorney’s focus on financial crimes will promote confidence in the legal system by making clear that the same rules apply to everyone — no matter how powerful.”

It sounds like Colangelo was happy to return to working with Bragg in NY and excited about his new responsibilities.

His new responsibilities included getting Trump in the so-called hush money trial.

1. Was George Stephanopoulos' politics really in question? That dude's been around since Clinton. I don't think there's any question that he's a Liberal Moderate.

2. How does pointing out that there is no evidence of what the speaker is claiming "showing your true colors"? Are you saying that making up claims no evidence and just being generally wrong about observable facts is a Conservative trait and pointing out that the dude is full of it a Liberal one? I might find some agreement with that.

Seriously. Dude was Clinton's press secretary.

Maybe his "true colors" are that he doesn't abide baseless fantasies.

Now that the rightwing refuses to watch mainstream media, this is how right wing media misinforms its consumers about what mainstream media is doing. Slap a deceptive headline on there and pretend someone was owned.

Maybe so. Do you think Bragg and his team couldn't have tried this case without Colangelo? Are you sure Colangelo is working on this case?

 

[Vambram]

Bragg and his people were following orders from the leaders of the Democratic Party. Colangelo's involvement is a strong indication of this.

Why else would he had left his higher paying and higher authority position with Merrick Garland's department of Justice?

Rational thinking. Unless you can provide proof that I am wrong.

There are things more important than money and how do you determine he had more authority working for the DOJ?

 

[iluvatar5150]

Why else would he had left his higher paying and higher authority position with Merrick Garland's department of Justice?

1.) His position in the DOJ was only as an Acting Associate AG, which means it had an even shorter shelf-life than a regular political appointment. Source

2.) The difference was only $3,100/yr. (though I suppose I've found the source of your propaganda)

3.) Any attorney working in public service at that level is sacrificing a TON of money to work in government, presumably because they like the work and/or believe in the cause. First-year associates in BigLaw make over $200k/yr. If he wanted to, he could probably walk into a private firm tomorrow and get $1 million/yr. The notion that a $3,100 pay cut indicates anything nefarious is laughable.

Matthew Colangelo became Acting Associate Attorney General on January 20, 2021.
Prior to his appointment, Mr. Colangelo served in the New York Attorney General’s Office as the Chief Counsel for Federal Initiatives and as Executive Deputy Attorney General for Social Justice. He has been a Distinguished Lecturer at the Georgetown University Law Center, and served in the Obama administration as a Deputy Assistant to President Obama and Deputy Director of the National Economic Council. Prior to that, he served as Chief of Staff to Department of Labor Secretary Tom Perez for three years, and as Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice.

Is this history that Matthew Colangelo has with the New York Attorney General's office, as well as his history with the Obama Administration to go along with his 3 years of working as the Associate Attorney General starting in the Biden Administration, all just a big coincidence? Or what?
"Well, how about the fact that Matthew Colangelo was standing over Alvin Bragg’s shoulder when he announced this verdict? I mean, Colangelo was the No. 3 official in the Biden Department of Justice, who suddenly disappears and shows up as an assistant district attorney right as Trump’s case in New York starts to proceed," Scharf explained.

Yes, I realize that you believe that to be true. Belief means nothing without evidence.

Rational thinking. Unless you can provide proof that I am wrong.

That isn't how it works. You need to provide evidence backing your assertion.
