A judge on Friday denied former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' bid to move the Georgia criminal case against him to federal court, ruling that his alleged involvement in efforts to pressure state leaders to overturn the 2020 election results was not a part of his official duties as a government official.
U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones issued the ruling after holding a hearing on the matter in Atlanta federal court last week that included five hours of testimony from Meadows, who along with former President Donald Trump was charged last month in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ sweeping election interference case.
"The Court concludes that Meadows has not shown that the actions that triggered the State’s prosecution related to his federal office," Jones wrote, adding "Meadows’s alleged association with post-election activities was not related to his role as White House Chief of Staff or his executive branch authority."
State prosecutors, Jones said, had “put forth evidence that at various points during the time of the alleged conspiracy Meadows worked with the Trump campaign, which he admitted was outside of the role of the White House Chief of Staff."
"In light of the State’s evidence that Meadows undertook actions on behalf of the campaign during the time period of the alleged conspiracy, Meadows was required to come forward with competent proof of his factual contention that his actions involving challenges to the outcome of the Georgia’s Presidential election results were within his role as Chief of Staff. His efforts fall short,” the judge wrote.

If the POTUS is a straight shooter, shouldn’t be a problem. And who wants a chief of staff who a rollover?
Oh and be not having a pair, look at the trouble it’s cost him. I think I’d take that dressing down or termination.
Of course!
appealable?
And with Coof, they could at least die ‘suddenly’.
From the article: “Meadows later notified the court that he would appeal the ruling. “
Whatta laff

The President would be malfeasant if he didn’t
Another corrupt judge.
There sure is an array of liberal Black Judges and Prosecutors involved in all of this.
Through his campaign, yes.
When questioned about the scope of his authority, Meadows was unable to explain the limits of his authority, other than his inability to stump for the President or work on behalf of the campaign,” Jones wrote. “The Court finds that Meadows did not adequately convey the outer limits of authority, and thus, the Court gives that testimony less weight.”
Bammy “Judge..”. That’s all you need to know.
Only a fool or a useful idiot can’t or won’t see past the blather dripping from this corrupt Obama activist in a black robe’s lying lips
While I may not like the outcome, please give me an example of his blather.
Judge Steve C. Jones? His first name is Steve, not Steven? Must be, if he’s using his middle initial for an identifier.

I’m shocked!
If it’s so obviously a crooked election, why the problem with coming up with the proof. Even Trump ain’t saying he has proof. Just that he “believes” that he won. Some people believe JFK is still alive. Of course he’d be 106 years old, but they still believe it.
