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

Imagine that - a lawyer who's a Democrat gets legal jobs in Democratic administrations. SHOCKING!!!

To answer your question, no, none of it is a coincidence. It's a perfectly normal career trajectory for someone at that level.

Rational thinking. Unless you can provide proof that I am wrong.
Your rational thinking is not evidence in your accusation that the Democratic Party was using their influence for going after Donald. Law enforcement used their rational thinking along with former Trump associates to be able to amass a great deal of factual evidence that Donald was doing illegal things. The facts proved to be the deciding factor in Donald's felony conviction, and your rational thinking without any evidence is simply a conspiracy theory. Who still watches ABC? I know I don't.

Bragg and his people were following orders from the leaders of the Democratic Party. Colangelo's involvement is a strong indication of this.
This is the original statement that you made that I questioned.

There is nothing here that suggests to me that Alvin Bragg was following the orders of the Democratic Party. However, it does give the appearance of it being political but I ask you what goes on in DC that isn't political.

The DOJ bringing felony gun charges against Hunter Biden is political.

But to me what matters is did D. Trump and/or Hunter Biden break the law. If they did they should be charged and treated just like other US citizens.

I question how many people are criminally charged for lying on a gun application because they are drug users just like I question the rare nature of the charges against Trump

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. ;)
Of course, number 2 is showing his true colors. But not the MAGA wants us to think. It is showing his bias in favor of truth and real evidence.

"....this theory was also firmly rejected in recent weeks by no less than former Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina, who worked on Trump’s defense early in the Manhattan prosecution. He called the idea “silly” and “ridiculous.”

“Joe Biden or anyone from his Justice Department has absolutely zero to do with the Manhattan district attorney’s office,” Tacopina said in an MSNBC interview, adding: “We know that’s not the case, and even Trump’s lawyers know that’s not the case.”

“People who say that,” Tacopina told MSNBC, “it’s scary that they really don’t know the law or what they’re talking about.”

If he said the same comments on Fox News, would he be a shill?
My opinion would be based upon the provable veracity of what the man said.
