Colangelo was hired to \u201cjump start\u201d Alvin Bragg\u2019s unprecedented garbage indictment against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Colangelo, a former Biden DOJ official and senior attorney at the New York Attorney General\u2019s Office, has previously taken part in multiple investigations into President Trump and was reportedly hired to \u201cjump start\u201d Bragg\u2019s stalled investigation into President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JudiciaryGOP\/status\/1644395899643207683?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Attorney Mike Davis, along with Steve Bannon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/04\/breaking-corrupt-and-woke-attorney-matt-colangelo-obama-and-biden-lackey-hired-by-ny-da-bragg\/\">exposed this apparent deep-state operation<\/a> in the War Room, detailing how Colangelo, an Obama White House alum, was seemingly recruited to manufacture charges against President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n\n<div><\/div>\n\n<p>House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/04\/just-jim-jordan-launches-investigation-braggs-top-prosecutor\/\">launched an investigation in April 2024<\/a> into potential coordination between the Biden DOJ and DA Bragg\u2019s politicized prosecution of President Trump. Jordan called out Colangelo for his role in this apparent abuse of prosecutorial authority.<\/p>\n<p>Under Jordan\u2019s leadership, the House Judiciary Committee has requested numerous documents and communications associated with Colangelo\u2019s position in the DOJ and his involvement with DA Bragg\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>1. All documents and communications for the period of January 2021 to December 2022 between or among Mr. Colangelo and any employee, agent, or representative of the New York County District Attorney\u2019s Office, the Fulton County District Attorney\u2019s Office, the New York Attorney General\u2019s Office, or the Department of Justice\u2019s Special Counsel\u2019s Office, referring or relating to:<\/p>\n<p>a. President Donald J. Trump;<br \/>\nb. The Trump Organization; or<br \/>\nc. Any other entity owned, controlled by, or associated with President Donald J. Trump;<\/p>\n<p>2. All personnel files related to Mr. Colangelo\u2019s hiring, employment, and termination at<br \/>\nthe Department of Justice, including all documents and communications with the<br \/>\nOffice of Presidential Personnel about Mr. Colangelo\u2019s hiring;<\/p>\n<p>3. All documents and communications between or among the Justice Department and the New York County District Attorney\u2019s Office referring or relating to the prosecution of President Donald J. Trump;<\/p>\n<p>4. All documents and communications referring or relating to Michael Cohen\u2019s conviction in United States v. Cohen, No. 18-cr-602 (S.D.N.Y. 2018), including any decisional or pre-decisional memoranda relating to the case; and<\/p>\n<p>5. All documents and communications referring or relating to Michael Cohen\u2019s conviction in United States v. Cohen, No. 18-cr-850 (S.D.N.Y. 2018).<\/p>\n<p>Following the guilty verdict against Trump, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Joe Biden\u2018s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/05\/just-jim-jordan-calls-alvin-bragg-biden-doj\/\">to testify before the Weaponization Committee<\/a> on June 13.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this mounting evidence, the DOJ has decided to turn a blind eye. They\u2019ve conducted what they call a \u201ccomprehensive search\u201d for email communications between their leadership, including Colangelo, and the District Attorney\u2019s office regarding any investigation or prosecution of President Trump. Of course, they found none.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s gestapo DOJ claimed that it did not supervise the work of the District Attorney\u2019s office or approve its charging decisions. It also highlighted that it did not control the District Attorney just as much as the District Attorney did not control the Department.<\/p>\n<p>Read their response to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=00000190-075b-d29e-a9f3-677bfc9e0000\">Jim Jordan\u2019s letter<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>This responds to your letter to the Department of Justice (Department), dated April 30, 2024, regarding a state criminal trial brought exclusively by the Manhattan District Attorney (District Attorney). This also responds to questions regarding that prosecution and jury verdict posed to the Attorney General during his appearance before the Committee on the Judiciary (Committee) on June 4, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Committee has demanded information from the Department because of what you describe as a \u201cperception that the Justice Department is\u201d behind the District Attorney\u2019s so-called \u201cpoliticized prosecution\u201d and a \u201cperception that the Biden Justice Department is politicized and weaponized\u201d to that end.<\/p>\n<p>The Department does not generally make extensive efforts to rebut conspiratorial speculation, including to avoid the risk of lending it credibility. However, consistent with the Attorney General\u2019s commitment to transparency, the Department has taken extraordinary steps to confirm what was already clear: there is no basis for these false claims.<\/p>\n<p>The Department has conducted a comprehensive search for email communications since January 20, 2021, through the date of the verdict, between any officials in Department leadership, including all political appointees in those offices, and the District Attorney\u2019s office regarding any investigation or prosecution of the former President.2 We found none. This is unsurprising.<\/p>\n<p>The District Attorney\u2019s office is a separate entity from the Department. The Department does not supervise the work of the District Attorney\u2019s office, does not approve its charging decisions, and does not try its cases. The Department has no control over the District Attorney, just as the District Attorney has no control over the Department. The Committee knows this.<\/p>\n<p>The Department\u2019s search included the email account of Matthew Colangelo, a former Department official about whom the Committee has raised numerous unfounded questions. The Department did not identify any instances of Mr. Colangelo having email communications with the District Attorney\u2019s office during his time at the Department. This is also unsurprising.<\/p>\n<p>As a member of the Associate Attorney General\u2019s Office, Mr. Colangelo\u2019s job was to oversee the civil litigation components that report to the Associate\u2019s Office, including the Civil Division, Antitrust Division, Civil Rights Division, and the Environment and Natural Resources Division. Mr. Colangelo departed the Department on December 2, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Department leadership did not dispatch Mr. Colangelo to the District Attorney\u2019s office, and Department leadership was unaware of his work on the investigation and prosecution involving the former President until it was reported in the news.<\/p>\n<p>The self-justifying \u201cperception\u201d asserted by the Committee is completely baseless, but the Committee continues to traffic it widely. As the Attorney General stated at his hearing, the conspiracy theory that the recent jury verdict in New York state court was somehow controlled by the Department is not only false, it is irresponsible.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, accusations of wrongdoing made without\u2014and in fact contrary to\u2014evidence undermine confidence in the justice system and have contributed to increased threats of violence and attacks on career law enforcement officials and prosecutors. Our extraordinary efforts to respond to your speculation should put it to rest.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the Department\u2019s actual role with respect to the District Attorney\u2019s office regarding this matter is already a matter of public record. As court filings show, both the District Attorney\u2019s office and the former President\u2019s defense team made requests for documents from the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY).<\/p>\n<p>In response to these requests, SDNY produced records to both parties, including the defense.\u00a0 The documents were produced to the former President\u2019s attorneys under a protective order imposed by the trial court. In any event, information-sharing between a U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office and local prosecutors is standard and happens every day all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/06\/doj-exonerates-themselves-agency-investigates-themselves-finds-no\/\">DOJ Exonerates Themselves \u2014 Agency Investigates Themselves and Finds No Contact Between Matthew Colangelo and Alvin Bragg\u2019s Office<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Joe Biden\u2018s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg The Department of Justice (DOJ)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
