    Colangelo was the acting associate AG which means it was never intended for him to stick around. He worked with Bragg prior to that and went back to doing that. Saying he demoted himself is not reality.

    But again, that would not matter because it was a jury that found Trump guilty. The prosecutor just laid out the substantial evidence against him.

      Bragg didn’t become DA until November 2021. Colangelo was #3 at the Justice department for 3 years before leaving to prosecute Trump. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-prosecutor-quit-top-doj-160009861.html And yes, a jury did convict Trump based on the instructions they were given from the corrupt judge in the case that also happened to be a Biden donor and anyone that says it doesn’t matter who the judge or prosecutor is doesn’t understand our system very well because it absolutely does matter. It’s also very obvious that Matthew Colangelo’s main job over the last several years has been to get Trump any way possible.

        That is not how this trial nor any trial works. It is pretty bad that you fail at that basic knowledge which seems to be what your whacko conspiracy relies on. Sorry but that part is wrong which makes your whole premise fall apart.

          Historically, most successful appeals were the result of overlooked errors in jury instructions – often these errors were verbose instructions that confused jurors. For an appeal to be successful, the jury instructions have to be read as a whole and found to contain errors that were not harmless, but rather which ultimately made for an unfair trial. —Cornell Law School

            Guess what has not been done yet? A successful appeal.

            Here’s your source, BTW since you failed to actually link it:

            https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/jury_instructions

            It goes on to say:

            Appeals due to errors in jury instruction have been greatly reduced by the implementation of model, standard, or pattern instructions for specific jurisdictions.

            The instructions given to the jury were clear and standard. They were unanimous in their decision. So keep grasping at straws.

              Standard? Right…keep telling yourself that. And if you really knew much about law, you’d know that a successful appeal can’t happen that fast. The process has been started though, and they’ve already delayed his sentencing, so we’ll see

                He used the standard for instruction. You can delude yourself into thinking he did not but all it will be is a delusion.
