He wants it moved to Federal Court to increase his chance of eventual pardon. Fuck off, traitor.
it is still a state case and would not be eligible for a federal pardon. the main advantage for these guys is that the jury would be pulled from that entire federal district rather than just from the city of Atlanta, meaning more rural hillbillies which increases the chance of a sympathetic jury
Thoughts and prayers, Mark. Have a nice booking.
But you don’t understand! He doesn’t want to be in prison!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trump’s legal team is also expected to argue that the case should be moved to federal court because he was acting in the capacity of president.
Meadows asked the court to either grant his removal request or issue an order prohibiting the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, from arresting him, according to the Tuesday motion.
Last week, Willis set the deadline for the 19 defendants to voluntarily turn themselves in to the Fulton county jail, where they would be booked, for noon this Friday, 25 August.
He also received hundreds of text messages on 6 January 2021 alerting him and the White House of escalating violence at the US Capitol and asking Trump to intervene.
Two of the 19 named defendants, Scott Hall and John Eastman, have turned themselves in and were booked at the Fulton county Rice Street jail on Tuesday.
Another two named defendants, Jeffrey Clark and David Shafer, have joined Meadows in making requests that their cases be moved to federal court.
The original article contains 428 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Record us your guilty plea and agree to be executed immediately, and we’d be happy to let you avoid arrest, you treasonous bastard.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really hope one of them starts singing, and then more of them start singing and they all turn on eachother. Then we’ll break out the Lemmy popcorn and collectively judge. Wouldn’t that be splendid.
