A judge has denied former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ request to move the Georgia criminal case against him to federal court. The judge ruled that Meadows’ involvement on former President Donald Trump’s behalf to influence the outcome of the 2020 election was not part of his official duties.

If they found him to do insurrecution and rebellion to overthrow the government the judge and the counsel should have automatically moved it to federal
Mark Meadows conspired with the wife of Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, to commit treason. He , Virginia (Fat Ginny) Thomas, and every other scum bag that attempted to conduct this coup ought to be jailed for life and prohibited from being able to seek public office ever again!
He opened his mouth and proved dumb on his honor.
American journalist Quote :“Other Trump allies, who peddled 2020 election lies, and escaped indictment, in Georgia, include Michael Flynn, Boris Epshteyn and Cleta Mitchell…explain how this works with the grand jury recommending, bringing charges, against 39. Ultimately, the D.A. indicting only 19 . Take us through how a County D.A. makes this decision, to indict or not.”
Quote by a Criminal Defense Attorney: “So, the special Grand Jury, their job, is to hear evidence, and to make a recommendation, to the D.A . And then, the D.A. can go through that. And the D.A. ultimately is the one, who decides what she wants to go forward on.”
Quote continued: “But it helps though , because she understands sort of what the issues are, what the jurors are interested in, what maybe more evidence she needs. Knowing Fani Willis, she is very, very thorough. She has tried multiple RICO cases in her career. In fact, she's made a career of that.”
Quote continued: “I can guarantee you , she's been in her office, in her war room, so to speak, and has called each and every one of these defendants, and looked at "What evidence do we have? How can we prove it?" Because it's not about also what we think. It's about what we can prove. "Do we have the hard evidence to prove this?"
Quote continued: “And Fani is not going to indict somebody, if she doesn't believe she can prove it in court . So, I think that's why she ultimately used her discretion, in not charging these other defendants, because she's not going to try a case that she doesn't think she can win.”
Quote by a Former Federal Prosecutor & Counsel to the AG : “I don't think his (Meadows) chances on appeal are particularly good. And let me explain why . The factual record that's been developed, in his extraordinary gamble, to take the stand, and expose himself, to all that fact-finding, and cross-examination, and waving his right, not to testify, under the Fifth Amendment? That's given the trial court judge a very strong factual record….”
Quote Continued: …”And the appeals court is not going to reexamine facts that way . They're not going to take new testimony. They're ruling on the law . So, that trial court has made a solid legal analysis, but most importantly, they have a very big factual record, very strong.”
American journalist Quote : “The judge, in this case, used Meadows' own testimony, against him, really, to prove the point that Meadows wasn't trying to. Was it a mistake, for Meadows, to take the stand?”
Quote by a Former Federal Prosecutor & Counsel to the AG : “I think, in 20/20 hindsight, it's going to be . Just how bad a mistake remains to be seen, Because, the worst-case scenario is not even that he doesn't remove it. But that in his testimony, he was inconsistent, and may expose himself to perjury or false statements charges."
Quote on Trump trying to move his case to Federal Court: “Oh, I think he's got a much worse shot . I mean, basically, Meadows was put in there, as a stalking horse, for these other defendants, to see if they could open up the door, to get the rest of them, into the federal court. Basically, that door is shut ."
Quote continued: “If you read the judge's opinion, he makes it very clear that the Executive branch has absolutely no business, putting its nose into state elections , or involving itself, in state elections. All of that language that applies to Meadows is going to apply in spades to Donald Trump . If you look at, I believe, page 41, or footnote 13, where he describes that the scope of the Executive function, there's no way that Donald Trump is ever going to overcome that language .”
Trump's fake electors was election interference. MAGA Karens don't have the cojones to call him out to take the stand in court. Trump doesn't either.
😊GREAT
Walls closing in
So who said 'Play stupid games. win stupid prizes'… ?
This is encouraging, a judge with courage. Meadows facing consequences. Trump continues lying, defying and threatening knowing the judges won't jail him. No equal justice.
They want their case heard by the “good old boy” system so they can get their friends and connections to let them go without accountability.
🌞 SUNDAY FUNNIES
MONDAY: Your Honor, I want to move my case.
TUESDAY: Your Honor, I want more time to prepare.
WEDNESDAY: Your Honor, I want to dismiss my case.
THURSDAY: Your Honor, I want to plead not guilty.
FIRDAY: I've been vindicated!
Well, Mark, there’s always your NEXT indictment to show us how good a lawyer you can be…could be…. want to be… tried to be….or whatever. I’m sure there’s a special grand jury out there just waiting to give you that chance.
I keep reminding all that Meadows and others were working on their own behalf as well as for Trump.
Of course they don't want it in federal court they can't have their kangaroo court otherwise .
low standard is right,
it goes to fed Appeals court.
How a election was run is not thier job description ?
the Judge did more than deny Meadows request but convicted him in federal court on the judges opinion.
Oh yea, I don't think you can get tried twice for the same crime.
I add a smaal can of chicken and a few frozen broccoli florets to ramen noodles. Its really good.
And for this, he took the stand and incriminated himself and his buddies under oath for four whole hours…
He must have a great attorney.
Election interference by the authoritarian state is is full swing.
