He's trying to delay it to see if he can transfer his case to federal court.

1. On what basis other than "I don't want to be arrested"?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. I'd assume it's because he was an actual employee of the Federal Government at the time

Unlike any of the others apart from IQ45

Has anyone read the whole thing? Does he mention his cooperation with Jack Smith as 'cause' for this?

Shit would get real interesting if he had.

9. Sounds serious.

13. Well, yah I mean if his 'case' here actually said something about cooperation with Smith as a reason

for allowing for letting the federal removal case move forward before the GA arrest, that'd be a pretty big deal.

If it doesn't, it doesn't matter.

I was just asking

2. Pretty much the same as Eastman's motion.

3. Damn, this is better than watching a movie!

5. I know, I can't wait to see Fani's response.

I know what I would say.

6. that motion is to a federal judge not fanny willis.

She already answered and blasted them. He then turned around and decided to fill an emergency motion in federal court to stop Willis from arresting him.

8. hopefully they say...nothing about your desire for removal to fed or immunity

should hinder your arrest, so get to the jailhouse, buddy!

11. I am talking about the second letter to FW from Meadow's attorney.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=18206849

He accuses her of coercing Meadows to show up at the jail house.
And of depriving him of his federal rights.
I have not yet seen her response to that letter.

Yes we saw her response to Meadow's first request for a delay.

7. fuck that guy

you broke the law, now face the consequences, asshole!

[Torchlight]

10. Not his best week, not his best look

Meadows and all the other indicted criminals are throwing everything at the wall hoping at least one thing sticks. My guess is it all congeals on the floor.

12. Meadows has filed new motion demanding immediate removal to Federal Court or stay from arrest

This motion is very arrogant. Meadows filed to remove to federal court. That statute provides that the state criminal proceeding continues until the case is formerly removed. The federal court ruled earlier that Meadows’ motion is sufficient to avoid an immediate dismissal and set a hearing for Monday of next week

Meadows’ motion simply assumes that Meadows is entitled to immediate removal to federal court or a stay. I hope the judge rejects this motion

This part of the motion is really concerning

The Federal Officer Removal Statute by default removes to federal court the entire
case, not just the charges against Mr. Meadows—whether or not other defendants
wish to remove or have a legal basis to do so. See Heinze, 637 F. Supp. 3d at 1325
n.8 (“‘It is well settled that if one claim cognizable under Section 1442 is present,
the entire action is removed, regardless of the relationship between the Section 1442
claim and the non-removable claims.’”) (quoting Nadler v. Mann, 951 F.2d 301, 306
n.9 (11th Cir. 1992)). Mr. Meadows, of course, had no control over how the case
was presented to the grand jury and seeks removal only on his own behalf. A district court
court may remand proceedings against remaining defendants after dismissing
charges against federal officials, see Spencer v. New Orleans Levee Bd., 737 F.2d
435, 438 (5th Cir. 1984), and at least one has severed a case after permitting removal
and then remanded the non-removable portion to state court, see Joyner v. A.C. & R.
Insulation Co., No. CIV. CCB-12-2294, 2013 WL 877125, at *9-10 (D. Md. Mar.
7, 2013). But however the Court should proceed, Mr. Meadows has an “absolute”
right to have the charges against him heard in federal court, Willingham, 395 U.S. at
406, and the Federal Officer Removal Statute calls for prompt consideration of his
Notice

Meadows is swinging for the fences and I hope that the judge tells Meadows to shut up and get arraigned.
