A bit of perspective

A bit of thinking about Alvin Bragg's case suggests some very sobering thoughts about it.  For starters, the team of 15 people worked for a couple of years on it, and ordinarily, those prosecutors would have tried about 100 cases....apiece.  In some cities, prosecutors get up to 1000 cases per year.  Conclusion?  There are most likely thousands of violent criminals walking the streets of New York who are out there because the DA chose to pursue a misdemeanor paperwork violation.  So if you've recently been mugged or worse by a New York thug, you have, in part, Alvin Bragg to blame.

Also very interesting is the case of Matthew Colangelo, who left his job as acting associate attorney general to join Bragg's team in 2022, and who has been instrumental in....according to the article....coordinating cases against President Trump to keep him off the campaign trail. 

Now there is little chance of this getting--rightfully--to a prosecution of Colangelo, Bragg, and others, but as one would infer from the burst of legally tenuous prosecutions at this time, there is a concerted effort to keep Trump off the campaign trail, and it strikes me that if a payoff to Stormy Daniels amounts to an illegal campaign contribution, so does leaving the DOJ to join a legally tenuous investigation in New York City.  Colangelo's case is especially problematic because as a rule, leaving the DOJ to join Alvin Bragg's staff is a serious drop in pay, prestige, and career possibilities--unless there is, of course, a big payoff that has been promised to him.

In short, we have here clear indication of illegal campaign contributions, quid pro quo arrangements that amount to bribery, and RICO violations--all likely bound up in the person of Matthew Colangelo.  Now with the current DOJ, charges are not even remotely likely, but just to place things in perspective.
