Manhattan D.A. Enlisted A Who’s Who Of Biden Admin Buddies For Trump Takedown

Manhattan D.A. Enlisted A Who’s Who Of Biden Admin Buddies For Trump Takedown

By: Margot Cleveland

April 12, 2023

8 Min Read

 

There’s quite a pattern to the Manhattan D.A. office’s unprecedented use of outside, Democrat-connected lawyers to investigate Trump.

 

ANew York City law firm with “strong ties” to Democrats and the Biden administration, and a big-time fundraiser for both, lent the Manhattan district attorney three lawyers to help him take down Donald Trump. This cohort included former Special Assistant District Attorney Mark F. Pomerantz, whose leaked resignation letter appears responsible for the Manhattan prosecutor’s decision to indict Trump.

 

Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg became the first prosecutor to bring criminal charges against a former president when he moved forward last week with the arraignment of Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The pathetic, barebones indictment was quickly denounced by pundits on both sides of the political aisle. Then on Friday, the House Judiciary Committee raised additional concerns about the role Matthew Colangelo, the former No. 3 man in the Biden administration’s Department of Justice, played in the targeting of Trump.

 

While Bragg’s hiring of Colangelo to reportedly “jump-start” the investigation into Trump further indicates the indictment was politically motivated, the Manhattan D.A. office’s unprecedented use of outside, Democrat-connected lawyers to investigate Trump pre-dates Colangelo’s arrival by nearly a year.

 

A Pattern

In early to mid-February of 2021, Bragg’s predecessor, District Attorney Cyrus Vance, arranged for private criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor Mark Pomerantz to be a special assistant district attorney for the Manhattan D.A.’s office. Pomerantz, whom The New York Times noted was to work “solely on the Trump investigation,” took a temporary leave of absence from his law firm, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, where he had defended former Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., against alleged campaign finance violations. But even before being sworn in as a special assistant to the Manhattan D.A., Pomerantz had reportedly “been helping with the case informally for months…”

 

According to the Times, “the hiring of an outsider is a highly unusual move for a prosecutor’s office.” One must wonder, then, how much more unusual it is for the Manhattan D.A.’s office to receive the “informal” assistance of a private criminal defense attorney. The legacy news outlet, however, justified the hiring of Pomerantz based on the “usual complexity” of “the two-and-a-half-year investigation of the former president and his family business.”

 

A few months later, the D.A.’s office welcomed two more outsiders, Elyssa Abuhoff and Caroline Williamson, who also both took leaves of absence from the New York powerhouse Paul, Weiss to work on the Trump investigation as special assistant district attorneys.

 

For a law firm to lend not one but three lawyers to the Manhattan D.A.’s office seems rather magnanimous, until you consider Paul, Weiss’s previous generosity to Joe Biden. During Biden’s White House run, the law firm hosted a $2,800-per-plate fundraiser for about 100 guests.

 

The chair of the Paul, Weiss law firm, Brad Karp, also topped the list of Biden fundraisers, bundling at least $100,000 for the then-candidate. “As someone who cares passionately about preserving the rule of law, safeguarding our democracy and protecting fundamental liberties, I’ve been delighted to do everything I possibly can to support the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket,” Karp wrote in an email.

 

Karp’s support of the Democrat presidential ticket isn’t surprising given that his fellow Paul, Weiss partner Robert Schumer is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s brother.

 

Biden’s connection to the firm, however, dates much further back, with the former secretary of homeland security in the Obama-Biden administration, Jeh Johnson, also heralding from Paul, Weiss. Once elected president, Biden nominated Jonathan Kanter, a former partner of Paul, Weiss, to serve as the top antitrust enforcement official at the Justice Department. In fact, according to Bloomberg, Paul, Weiss has “emerge[d] as Biden-Era N.Y. Power Center.”

>>18686354

A Resignation

The three Paul, Weiss alumni sent to the Manhattan D.A.’s office to bolster the Trump investigations would all make news, but for different reasons. Pomerantz first garnered headlines when he resigned as a special assistant district attorney in early 2022, after Bragg became Manhattan’s D.A.

 

In his resignation letter, leaked to The New York Times, Pomerantz said that in late 2021, Bragg’s predecessor, Vance, had “concluded that the facts warranted prosecution, and he directed the team to present evidence to a grand jury and to seek an indictment of Mr. Trump and other defendants as soon as reasonably possible.” But after replacing Vance as D.A., Bragg decided “not to go forward with the grand jury presentation and not to seek criminal charges at the present time,” Pomerantz wrote, adding, “The investigation has been suspended indefinitely.”

 

What Pomerantz’s letter did not say, however, was that in late 2021, “at least three career prosecutors asked to move off the investigation,” reportedly “concerned that the investigation was moving too quickly, without clear evidence to support possible charges.” Instead, in his resignation, Pomerantz declared he believes “Donald Trump is guilty of numerous felony violations,” that “the public interest warrants the criminal prosecution of Mr. Trump,” and that “such a prosecution should be brought without any further delay.”

 

Pomerantz later rejoined Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and authored a book about the Trump investigation.

 

Pomerantz’s letter and his claims that Bragg had suspended the Trump probe triggered a political firestorm, which the Manhattan D.A. sought to quell by telling the public the investigation was ongoing.

>>18686354

Criminal Charges

Meanwhile, the Manhattan D.A.’s office pushed forward in its criminal case against the Trump Corporation. A grand jury had indicted the Trump Corporation in late June of 2021 on charges it engaged in a scheme to avoid paying taxes on the salaries of high-level executives by instead funneling compensation through perks, such as luxury apartments and cars. A second Trump corporation would later be added to the criminal case that went to trial in late 2022.

 

The trial team that prosecuted the case included the other two Paul, Weiss attorneys on loan to the Manhattan D.A.’s office: Abuhoff and Williamson. Bragg borrowed a third outside attorney, Gary T. Fishman, from New York’s Democrat Attorney General Letitia James. Along with three regular members of the Manhattan D.A.’s office, the three “special assistant district attorneys” helped convict the Trump-related business entities in early December 2022.

 

After securing convictions of the two Trump corporations, Abuhoff and Williamson ended their “special assistant district attorney” relationship with Bragg’s office in December 2022 and went back to Paul, Weiss — a return that would be short-lived. Abuhoff rejoined the Manhattan D.A.’s office in February 2023, and Williamson returned the next month, but now both as regular members of the staff.

 

So short was their time back at Paul, Weiss, in fact, that one must wonder if the firm paid them bonuses following their departure from the Manhattan D.A.’s office. The Federalist posed this question to Paul, Weiss, but the inquiry went unanswered. Paul, Weiss also did not respond to questions concerning whether the lawyers received any compensation or Paul, Weiss benefits while on leave to the D.A.’s office.

 

Abuhoff and Williamson’s return to the D.A.’s office followed the news that in early December, Bragg had hired Matthew Colangelo from the Biden DOJ to “jump-start” the office’s investigation into Trump. Upon his inauguration, Biden had appointed Colangelo to serve in the No. 3 slot at the DOJ, showing the trust Biden has in the lawyer now charged with taking down his opponent Trump.

 

Colangelo had also previously worked in the Obama-Biden administration and as chief counsel and executive deputy attorney general in A.G. James’ office, where he and Fishman reportedly investigated Trump. As noted above, James would later lend Fishman to the Manhattan D.A.’s office, keeping with her campaign promise to “be a real pain in the -ss” to Trump. It’s no wonder House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan is concerned about Colangelo’s role in the unprecedented indictment.

 

Connecting the Dots

But the issue goes much beyond Colangelo, for it seems likely Bragg never would have hired Colangelo had Pomerantz’s resignation letter never been leaked to The New York Times. It’s outrageous that Pomerantz was reportedly “informally” advising the former Manhattan D.A. while working for the “Biden-Era N.Y. Power Center” law firm with extensive connections to Democrats. Equally outrageous is the fact that the same law firm lent the D.A.’s office three lawyers to bolster the Trump investigation.

 

It seems Bragg was swayed by New York politics to alter the communist boast of Joseph Stalin’s secret police chief, Lavrentiy Beria: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” The Manhattan D.A. had the man but couldn’t find the crime.

 

“Lend me your top attorneys to show me a crime,” is the new motto of the political machine New York Democrats built to purge the country, communist style, of Trump. That should horrify every American.

After Earning ‘State-Affiliated Media’ Label On Twitter, NPR Leaves For Chinese State-Affiliated TikTok

 

After being correctly labeled as “US state-affiliated media” by Twitter, National Public Radio (NPR) announced on Wednesday its plans to forgo using the social media platform to post its slanted, left-wing “news” coverage. Instead, the company will promote its content on other social media sites such as TikTok, a popular app that effectively operates as Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spyware.

 

“NPR will no longer post fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds, becoming the first major news organization to go silent on the social media platform,” the outlet announced in a Wednesday morning article, citing Twitter’s inclusion of a “US state-affiliated media” tag in the organization’s account bio as the reason for the decision. By then, Twitter had updated NPR’s tag to read “Government-funded Media” following a total meltdown by Twitter’s left-wing, blue-check brigade.

 

In typical, melodramatic fashion, NPR CEO John Lansing claimed he has “lost … faith in the decision-making at Twitter,” and that he needs to take “some time to understand whether Twitter can be trusted again.”

 

“It would be a disservice to the serious work you all do here to continue to share it on a platform that is associating the federal charter for public media with an abandoning of editorial independence or standards,” Lansing wrote in an email sent to NPR staff.

 

Not long after NPR announced its departure from Twitter, the government-funded outlet posted a series of tweets linking to resources its readers can use to find NPR content. One of these tweets contains a list of NPR’s other social media accounts, including a link to NPR’s official TikTok account.

 

Owned by the Beijing-based company ByteDance, TikTok has rightly come under fire in recent months for its connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Included in TikTok’s privacy policy is a provision stipulating that the platform “may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information … such as faceprints and voiceprints,” from users’ content. In China, companies such as ByteDance are required by law to give the CCP access to any data it requests.

While Twitter certainly has its problems — such as continued shadowbanning of conservative figures and censoring of factual reporting — its decision to label NPR as “state-affiliated media” or “government-funded media” isn’t inaccurate. In fact, NPR even admits as much in the article announcing its departure from Twitter.

 

In Wednesday morning’s diatribe, NPR claimed Twitter’s labeling of the outlet as “government-funded media” is “inaccurate and misleading.” Yet, in the very next sentence, NPR concedes that “it receives less than 1 percent of its $300 million annual budget from the federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting.”

 

If the government funding provided to NPR is as small and insignificant as the outlet claims, then why accept it at all? Moreover, if the outlet is so concerned about being accurately labeled as “government-funded media,” then wouldn’t the easiest solution be to reject what supposedly small amount of funding it receives from federal bureaucrats?

 

In light of NPR’s histrionics, it’s worth highlighting the fact that the so-called “news” outlet has operated as a Democrat Party mouthpiece for years. After the New York Post released its infamous Hunter Biden laptop story in October 2020, for instance, NPR outright refused to cover the bombshell revelations, claiming it didn’t “want to waste [its] time on stories that are not really stories.” The outlet also referred to the story as a “pure distraction.”

Trump Calls For Jack Smith to be Removed by the DOJ After Latest Illegal Leak to WaPo

 

President Trump on Wednesday evening called for Jack Smith to be removed from the DOJ after the latest leak to the Washington Post.

 

Special Counsel Jack Smith is now investigating Trump’s effort to raise money off of ‘false claims of election fraud,’ according to a leak to the Washington Post.

 

Federal prosecutors are investigating money raised between November 3, 2020 and January 20, 2021.

 

“Special “Prosecutor“ Jack Smith is illegally leaking massive amounts of confidential information to the Fake News Media. He and his entire family are known Trump Haters. He should be removed by the corrupt DOJ, at once!” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

 

Biden’s corrupt Justice Department has repeatedly leaked information about Jack Smith’s witch hunt investigation to the Washington Post, CNN and the New York Times.

 

The damaging leaks are being used to blunt Trump’s 2024 reelection campaign.

 

According to a leak earlier this month, Special Counsel Jack Smith has “new and significant evidence” of potential Trump obstruction in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.

 

The Justice Department did the same thing during Mueller’s two-year Russia collusion witch hunt in an effort to damage Trump’s presidency.

“THIS IS IMPEACHABLE” – BIDEN BUSTED – Removed President Trump’s Executive Privilege in Order to Raid Mar-a-Lago to Cover-Up His Own Illegal Possession of Classified Docs

 

Earlier this week we found out that Biden was in on the unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful raid on President Trump’s iconic home Mar-a-Lago.

 

Now we know that Biden was totally behind the raid because he had to remove President Trump’s executive privilege so the raid could occur. Only Biden could do that.

 

Right after the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, Attorney Mike Davis went on FOX News. He pointed out that the raid was unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. President Trump had the Presidential Records Act that allowed him to take whatever documents he wanted, classified or not, with him to Mar-a-Lago when he left the White House.

 

There must have been a major reason why Biden and AG Garland would raid the President’s iconic home to take documents from President Trump. It was suggested that Biden wanted to steal President Trump’s documents that showed the criminal acts by the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens and the corrupt DOJ and FBI. The documents were related to the Russia collusion lie made up against President Trump.

 

Now we know there is more to this story.

 

This week more evidence came out that Biden was involved with the raid on Mar-a-Lago:

 

…new NARA records obtained through America First Legal’s investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirmed that the FBI obtained access to these records through a “special access request” from the Biden White House on behalf of the Department of Justice (DOJ).

 

It appears that the Biden White House and DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of a “special access request.”

 

Memos released last August also revealed the Biden White House worked directly with the DOJ and National Archives to instigate a criminal investigation into Trump’s handling of documents.

 

Attorney Davis was on Bannon’s War Room Tuesday night and he shared more on this topic that was newsworthy. Bannon and Davis discussed the various legal cases and actions against Trump and Americans.

 

DA Braggs’s move against Jim Jordan and the House is unprecedented. Jordan has every right to request information from Bragg who is using federal money to attack President Trump in the bogus case there. Jordan is over the target, especially in regards to Michael Colangelo working for Bragg after moving from the Obama and Biden gang to the DA’s office and a couple of months later Trump was indicted.

 

But at the 11:00 minute mark, Davis discusses the five bogus attempts to get President Trump. This was an excellent overview.

 

At this point Davis makes it clear that President Trump had the right to have documents at Mar-a-Lago, classified or not but Biden had no right to have classified records in his possession while he was Vice President.

 

At the 14 min mark, Davis discusses the Mar-a-Lago situation more in-depth.

 

It’s very clear – Biden had to waive executive privilege for Trump. He green lighted Garland’s unprecedented, unnecessary, unlawful home raid on Trump, his political enemy…

 

Davis argues that Biden wanted to get back documents showing the Clinton, Obama, and Biden connections to Russian collusion and Garland did the raid to cover up for Biden. Only Biden could waive Trump’s executive privilege.

 

Bannon at the 17:00 mark points out that the timelines show The Regime knew about Biden’s issues with classified documents being held illegally and this is why they went after President Trump.

 

When this comes out there is going to be impeachable crimes by President Biden…he weaponized the Justice Department to go after Trump…This is impeachable.

Dianne Feinstein Statement Asks Schumer to Replace Her on Judiciary Committee Until She Returns to Senate

By Kristinn Taylor Apr. 12, 2023 10:16 pm

Ailing 89-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) issued a statement Wednesday night in response to calls for her resignation by Democrats concerned their efforts to remake the federal judiciary has stalled this year due to her prolonged battle with shingles. The statement said Feinstein plans to return to the Senate at some point but asked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to temporarily replace her spot on the Judiciary Committee until she returns. A Schumer spokesman said he would seek a Senate vote on that next week.

Feinstein Statement on Returning to Washington

Apr 12 2023

San Francisco—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement on her medical diagnosis and when she plans to return to Washington:

 

“When I was first diagnosed with shingles, I expected to return by the end of the March work period. Unfortunately, my return to Washington has been delayed due to continued complications related to my diagnosis.

 

“I intend to return as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it’s safe for me to travel. In the meantime, I remain committed to the job and will continue to work from home in San Francisco.

 

“I understand that my absence could delay the important work of the Judiciary Committee, so I’ve asked Leader Schumer to ask the Senate to allow another Democratic senator to temporarily serve until I’m able to resume my committee work.”

Axios reports replacing Feinstein will require Republican consent (excerpt):

 

Schumer will need to propose amending the Senate’s organizing resolution, which will require either consent from all 100 senators.

 

If a senator blocks unanimous consent, the measure will require 60 votes to break a filibuster, meaning at least 10 Republicans will have to support it.

 

With Feinstein absent, the Judiciary Committee stands at ten Democrats and ten Republicans. Democrats are not able to jam through nominees to the federal bench for votes on the Senate floor until Feinstein returns or is replaced
