Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey was recently interviewed regarding the ongoing legal case involving Matthew Colangelo, a prosecutor in a case that began in 2018 during the Trump administration. Bailey expressed concerns about potential collusion between the Department of Justice and state prosecutors to target political opponents, specifically President Donald Trump.
Bailey highlighted the importance of prosecutors adhering to ethical standards and raised suspicions about the political motivations of Colangelo and Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor handling the case. He emphasized the need for transparency to uncover any impropriety and hold those responsible accountable.
Colangelo's background as a DNC political consultant and his ties to previous Democratic administrations led Bailey to question whether he should have recused himself from the case. Bailey argued that the case lacked sufficient evidence of criminal behavior and criticized Bragg for allegedly pursuing a politically motivated prosecution.
The interview also touched on the upcoming proceedings in the case, with Michael Cohen expected to testify and the possibility of President Trump testifying in his defense. Bailey predicted that the verdict should be an acquittal due to the failure to establish criminal conduct.
In conclusion, Bailey called for a dismissal of the case and emphasized the need to scrutinize the motivations of the prosecutors involved. He underscored the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is served impartially.
