Matthew Colangelo is a current Manhattan prosecutor. He was hired in 2022 by Alvin Bragg. Stop with the fake outrage. It's honestly embarrassing, especially when you're blatantly misrepresenting the truth here. If you don't think people can think independently and use Google, you're wrong. Once again, the issue is we have never had a president as corrupt and felonious as Donald Trump. Truly embarrassing. I don't understand how else to convey this. Every president since the founding of this country has been granted some level of executive courtesy. Because when you are president, apparently you have to make some tough choices on who dies who gets in our country what countries get attacked, etc. etc. If a president has to worry about the ramifications of his actions after he leaves office, that may impact the decision-making process and potentially harm our country down the road. My question is, why is Donald Trump the first president who apparently is not extended this executive privilege? Nixon had it, Obama LBJ Eisenhower Wilson, Hoover. Each one of these presidents undoubtedly violated a law or two in the course of being president. Why is Trump different? Just because you personally don’t like him is not a valid answer. "Executive courtesy" isn't a thing. Executive "privilege" is, but you have to be the executive in order for it to work. Are you really trying to frame an argument that "courtesy" is somehow equal to just forgiving committing felonies? I've seen some crazy stuff in my life, but that's...up there on the list. To be 100% crystal and absolutely clear, the investigations (plural) into Trump's conduct have no bearing on presidential responsibility. He's accused of paying off a porn star he was having an affair with in the form of hush money and falsifying the records of that transaction. If you're arguing that the president should be allowed to do that....I mean, weird? And in this instance, the alleged crime took place BEFORE Trump became president. I can tell you've been watching Fox News because this has been their same exact diatribe on a continuous loop. In fact, Trump himself commented on it Friday, courtesy of Laura Loomer. And has done so repeatedly, uttering the same fallacies over and over again. Presidential immunity isn't needed if you just simply...don't commit crimes? There's already standing policy in place that prohibits the prosecution of a sitting president. The bar to both CHARGE and CONVICT a former president is high, on purpose. Why is Trump different? 91 felonies, four jurisdictions, a lifetime of getting away without being held accountable for anything. Nixon resigned before he could be impeached, or he probably would have been prosecuted, too. Ford granted him a presidential pardon to prevent any thought of that. Why do you insist on painting Trump as a victim?

Can you see the world's smallest violin with a microscope? "Executive courtesy" LMFAO..like the courtesy he has extended others? Like saying one of his generals should be excuted, McCain in the 5.5 year hole, like he extends courtesy to previous presidents?..Dem and Republican. What goes around, comes around can't happen soon enough for the narcissistic man child. Will it be embarrasing for his blind followers, when the champagne sells out at Total Wine? Watever hate trump has generated, he deserves right back. If he cracks under this spotlight, his true nature will be revealed.

meanwhile, trump's loving wife is launching her $249 "mother's day necklace" . Can the cult at all see through these grifters? Are they that stoopid? "best first lady ever" over and over again on foxnews.com. I don't know, but my wife might show up if I was on trial. You know who are the dumbest people in America? those who are being played and don't know it.

Or, I guess you could believe that regardless of what the letter says next to a person's name...crimes are crimes, and criminals are prosecuted in the justice system. Unfortunately, I think you've been brainwashed to the point you no longer recognize truth from fiction, as your post indicates. I get it, but there is a way out. You just have to pull back from the propaganda. You're losing the information war here. The persecution complex you're seeking really doesn't exist.

Either you think the Dems (which neither Garland or Smith are actually a Democrat) are viciously making up lies to defeat a candidate who has lost the popular vote twice? Or you think that Trump's admission of his own guilt is real and he should be prosecuted. And I'd have no problem telling you this directly, but that's not the real point here. The irony of you calling someone a "beta" when you're endlessly simping for a fraud/con artist/grifter/rapist isn't lost.

There is no possible way a Republican candidate could be this flawed and incoherent, such candidate would be laughed out of politics by the leering Democrat media and given the boot by concerned conservatives. You will notice, after a full day in the court room Trump is addressing the media, making statements and answering questions in spite of a laughable gag order. Biden can barely talk without a teleprompter. The incredibly low standards the Democrats allow for their candidates is pathetic. Without the wholesale skulduggery and viscous violence the party founded by Andrew Jackson would be out of power based on sheer incompetence. The fact that there are wars erupting everywhere AND our economic system is now crippled by inflation is evidence of that incompetence.

How do you come to that opinion when Trump clearly illustrates similar cognitive deficits? It shows obvious bias/denial/skewed theory. Biden can't talk without a teleprompter? Every president uses a teleprompter, it's how you get moments like this. The Republicans had a choice. They could have nominated someone else - They knew they had no pathway to the White House without Donald, though. They sold their souls, embarrassingly so, to get to this point. They know their only path to relevance is through Trump, despite him being a two time popular vote loser. The gag order doesn't prevent Trump from addressing the media. Court adjourned at 2PM Eastern, so it was hardly a full day. I know he can't be bothered to stay awake, but still....let's be truthful here. Crippling inflation? Lol. Step outside.

Well, a week later I get a knock at my door..and it's Crazy Joe hand delivering his book to me! Let's just say it was an awkward moment. Having said that, I have fished a couple times with "Fishin", who is a cool dude. ...I knew that would be a positive meeting because anybody who is a biologist and fishes ..is a safe bet.

My interactions on this board usually go like this: I post a political opinion. I get personally attacked and called very unflattering names. I do hit back, usually in the form of a counterpunch argument. (I have lost my patience once or twice) The people who attack me/disagree with me claim I am overreacting. I remember Aztec Joe, we never had any issues. His football takes were usually pretty good.

Matthew Colangelo is a current Manhattan prosecutor. He was hired in 2022 by Alvin Bragg. Stop with the fake outrage. It's honestly embarrassing, especially when you're blatantly misrepresenting the truth here. If you don't think people can think independently and use Google, you're wrong. Once again, the issue is we have never had a president as corrupt and felonious as Donald Trump. Truly embarrassing. I don't understand how else to convey this. Every president since the founding of this country has been granted some level of executive courtesy. Because when you are president, apparently you have to make some tough choices on who dies who gets in our country what countries get attacked, etc. etc. If a president has to worry about the ramifications of his actions after he leaves office, that may impact the decision-making process and potentially harm our country down the road. My question is, why is Donald Trump the first president who apparently is not extended this executive privilege? Nixon had it, Obama LBJ Eisenhower Wilson, Hoover. Each one of these presidents undoubtedly violated a law or two in the course of being president. Why is Trump different? Just because you personally don’t like him is not a valid answer. From today's hearing: The things you're referring to are called "official acts." What's actually being adjudicated here is the opposite of that, things that don't fall into the category of official acts.
