6. One other good thing is that even with a change of venue & jury pool, the GA state laws still apply

This is Meadows' attempt to separate himself from the RICO implications, but under state law, he's still convicted if two or more of the group are. Sure, he'll appeal, which is real goal here, but there'll likely be no basis for a win.

The best thing is what Weissman said about separating out all the defendants -- a judge might rightfully find it in the state's interest for "the whole picture" to come out to a jury and on tv.
