Best Attorney’s vs a political box checker.... hmmmm... Will the law prevail, and can the federal legal system allow it’s role to be usurped by state politicians. John Roberts, how will yu go down in history?
Obama judge. Won’t happen.
It is irritating that The Hill implies - with zero evidence - that Meadows does not want the trial televised.
I would be thrilled if that idiot District Attorney had to prosecute my case on live TV!
POTUS is unaffected by Lawfare. So is Mark Meadows.
The legal train can not roll in these blue states, anywhere. If any single charge is under duty for a federal office, the entire case is required to be defended in federal court, not state.
Big Fani knows all this. Political gains among Marxists includes bold idiocy. 😄
Do they teach atmospherics at law school?
If it has federal charges, it MUST be moved.
“If Jones does permit Meadows to remove, it won’t be on the strength of Meadows’s legal argumentation. It will be because of the atmospherics of the case,” said Lee Kovarsky, a law professor at the University of Texas”
No, it should be exactly on the strength of legal arguments, and would be if the defendant was a Democrat.
Off topic, but relevant...
I still believe the strongest argument for the Defense is that the Prosecution cannot prove - beyond a reasonable doubt - that Donald Trump LOST the election.
No matter what evidence is presented, nor how many election experts testify, the Prosecution has no answer to two decisive facts...
How many ineligible voters cast a ballot in Georgia?
Unknown.
How many Georgia ballots have no verifiable chain of custody?
Unknown.
If they cannot prove Trump lost the election, their foundational argument collapses.
The Georgia case is itself legally suspect. It is a novel case, and were the case go forward, we can easily imagine the consequence. Every Democratic federal official will be tried in Wyoming or some other rock-ribbed Republican state for racketeering; and, every Republican federal official will be tried in a solidly Democrat jurisdiction. There will be no end to it, until either the U.S. Supreme Court speaks to the matter, or the Congress in a shocking moment of non-partisanship sends a Constitutional Amendment to the states for ratification.
The D.C. is similar. Both the Ga. and the D.C. cases are bogus.
The other two cases are more mundane.
The New York case (involving filing a false statement concerning hush payments to Trump’s paramour) rests on whether the statute of limitations had expired.
The Florida case (involving documents) concerns whether Trump sufficiently cooperated with authorities in the return of federal property.
If I were the Democrats, I’d proceed with the documents case first, get a conviction via a plea deal for a slap on the wrist. Then, proceed to the false statements case, with the same object (a conviction via a plea deal). Then, I would magnanimously drop the other two cases, saying that the point has been made: Trump is a liar and a criminal.
As it is, the Democrats are choosing Trump to be our nominee by making him into a victim; and, with the sympathy he’s getting, Trump looks like he could win the election.
Well if they don’t give them immunity...states need to file criminal charges against Biden and the entire white house asap.
