Trump hush money prosecutor Matthew Colangelo was political consultant for DNC, ex-Obama donor
New York Post ^ | May 6th, 2024 | Josh Christenson

A Manhattan prosecutor heading up the “hush money” case against former President Donald Trump was a political consultant for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 2018 — and once donated to Barack Obama.

The DNC paid Matthew Colangelo $12,000 in January 2018 for “political consulting,” Federal Election Commission filings show, and the prosecutor also donated $400 to Obama’s first presidential campaign in 2008.

Colangelo, formerly the third-ranking official in President Biden’s Justice Department, joined Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office in December 2022 as senior counsel in the criminal case against Trump.

The prosecutor’s paid work for the DNC were first reported by Fox News Digital.

Anyone here even think that one time, just one time, rats will use an uncompromised prosecutor to go after republicans?

Hint: There are none.

I suspect most lawyers have some sort of political affiliation. The consultant fees is what I find compromising.

RE: some sort of political affiliation for lawyers....

Snubbing Trump, Lawyers Doling More Cash to Democrats
Roy Strom

Contributions to Trump from legal profession continue to dwindle
Big Law’s favorite candidates thus far, Biden and Harris, data show
Lawyers have long been a reliable source of campaign funds for Democratic presidential hopefuls. But the legal set’s political contributions haven’t been this blue since at least 2004.

Lawyers and employees of the nation’s law firms have contributed nearly $17 million to presidential campaigns so far this election cycle and 95% of the total has gone to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. President Donald Trump’s campaign has raised just over $785,000 from lawyers and law firms.

Keep it up New York media.

YOU will be the influence that will ultimately reach the jury and declare President Trump innocent of any wrong doing and y'jes' might influence some other folks to rein in and bring charges against the out of control commies y'got in your political world.

Why did they put the phrase “hush money” in scare quotes in the first paragraph but not in the headline?

Compromised yes! However, this case has been phoned in from the beginning. But, noticed how the Georgia case has dropped from the news.

The Rats know that there will be a guilty verdict here...and that’s all they’re looking for. Once that happens we know damn well what their campaign ads will look like.

Everyone leaves the third highest lawyer position in the COUNTRY for a backseat city prosecutor job. Doesn’t everyone know that?

Imagine the paper trail this scheme left. The redactions will cause a national black ink shortage.

Democracy means stealing an election by rigging a courthouse.

Paper trail? Maybe not. Remember what they say in the Mafia:

“Never write when you can speak...never speak when you can nod...never nod when you can wink”.

Yet another criminal flunky. One of the “ends justifies the means” gang. What a pathetic loser.
