...Meadows is petitioning a federal judge to have his case removed from Ga. state court to federal court.

He has a hearing on removal from the state case in Ga. District Court scheduled for Monday, August 28, 2023, at 10:00 A.M.

He's asking the Ga. District Court to 'remove' him from the State RICO case because of harm he claims he'd incur WHEN, he says (not if) a federal judge would grant him the immunity he's seeking from arrest that he says 'federal law affords former federal officials."

He's arrogantly telling the court here that it would be more 'efficient' for them to grant him removal from the case now, and avoid his arrest which he's optimistically claiming will be repudiated sometime in the future by the federal judge he's appealing to.

His lawyers go on a bit about their superior knowledge of Ga. law and their psychic abilities to predict the federal ruling.

Bottom line, Fani wants his ass by Friday, and this is an emergency appeal to the Court to grant immediate removal to prevent what he calls the harm his arrest will cause which he actually describes as more of an inconvienience for the court.
