Trump Prosecutor in Hush-money Case Tied to Powerful Democrats

Generally, when we talk about the New York hush-money case, it is Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg whose name is attached to the case.

Now, however, it appears that the real brains and motivation behind the prosecution has been Matthew Colangelo.

He is a former Biden Department of Justice official and DNC consultant who suddenly wound up in the employ of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office and fueled the investigation into Donald Trump and his company.

A Plot?

Prior to joining Bragg’s office, his office had declined to go after Trump.

Then Colangelo, who has deep ties to former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Tom Perez and Joe Biden‘s chief of staff Jeff Zients, joined the office, and the focus went to Trump.

First, he took out Trump’s charitable organization, which has since been dissolved.

Then he turned his focus on Trump by turning what is generally considered a misdemeanor into a 34-count indictment by stacking ledger entries in the indictment.

I have lost count of how many attorneys I have discussed this case with, and all agree that in 99% of cases, this would have resulted in a fine, penalty, back taxes, and some sort of public reprimand.

But it surely would not have resulted in a federal indictment and the possibility of spending decades in jail.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is leading the effort to expose this alleged plot. He posted the new information on X accompanied by the reference letter provided by Colangelo when he applied to work for the New York AG.

If I thought this was another wild good chase, you guys know me well enough by now that I would call out Republicans for wasting their time and our money.

However, this is not an election stunt but a real thread that needs to be pulled, only it needs to be pulled quickly because time is running out in the current session.
