Mark Meadows Is Screwed After Judge Denies Request To Move Trial To Federal Court - Ring of Fire

[TexasTowelie]

Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows lost his bid to move his Georgia criminal trial from state court to federal court, after the judge said that Meadows' efforts to overturn the election results were NOT a part of his official White House duties. Because of this ruling, it is unlikely that any of the defendants who have made similar motions will succeed, as Meadows was the only one with a half decent argument. It could also mean that Meadows has few options other than to flip on Trump, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Former Donald Trump, chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, suffered a humiliating defeat in court last Friday when a US district judge, the one who had been, you know, tasked with determining whether or not to remove Mark Meadow's case from state court to federal court, that judge said, no, no, you're not getting moved to federal court because in spite of your hours of testimony last week, and in spite of your wonderful legal arguments, and by the way, you did have some decent arguments, it doesn't change the fact that your attempts to overturn the election for Donald Trump we're not part of your official duties as chief of staff, and therefore this is a state crime. You're not going to federal court. That is the biggest blow that Mark Meadows could have received. Here's why. If Meadows had successfully argued that his duties, that what he did to help Trump, you know, try to overturn the election in Georgia and get the fake elector sent to, to Congress, if he had successfully made that argument to get his case moved to federal court, he could then successfully make the argument that, hey, this was obviously within my, my actual job, therefore I can't be prosecuted for it.

So the charges have to be dropped. That's what would've happened. But now that can't happen. Meadows, like everybody else, is now going to have to face the prosecution, unless of course he decides that it's not worth it because Meadows is now faced with two, uh, two choices. Go to trial in Georgia State Court, a trial that will be live streamed on YouTube or play. Let's make a deal, call up the prosecutor and be like, Hey, Ms. Willis, how you doing today? I, uh, I got some things I want to talk about. Those are your two choices. Now, mark, those are your only two choices. Now, mark, so choose wisely because there is a good decision there and there is a bad decision. But you, you have to make that choice yourself. Nobody can make you make it, but you may wanna make it quick, because I'm willing to bet that after your legal defeat, you've got a dozen or more other co-defendants that are now thinking the same thing. Because Mark Meadows is not the only one that of course, had filed a motion to get his case moved from state court to federal court. He just happens to be the only one who may have had a legitimate argument for doing so. Nobody else has that legal argument. So if Meadows can't be successful with that argument, nobody else can be successful with that argument, which means none of these other people are going to have their cases removed from state

Court to federal court, which means they're all going to trial, which means you all have those same two options that Mark Meadows has. Some of you have made it clear you're not gonna take the deal, you don't wanna make a deal. You think you can beat this Sidney Powell's one who thinks she can beat it, and God bless her, let her try. Of course, she also suffered a legal defeat last week when the judge said that her and Kenneth Chesbro could not separate their cases. So that sucks for y'all. In fact, all of this really sucks for y'all. I'm not saying I have sympathy for you, y'all, y'all deserve it, but you're not being successful.

1. Flipiddy,.. flipiddy,... flop....

Your ass is on fire Mark Meadows,... the Orange Menace could care less. Reveal all you know to the prosecution's side. Give up the dirt on Donnie.

It could mean the difference of six years or six months at the gray-bar hotel.
