1. I thought that had already been decided

I guess it was his need to show up for his arrest in Georgia

2. Federal Judge denied Mark Meadows' request to move the case to federal court. Meadows'

appealed it, so 11th Circuit court is handling the appeal. They are supposed to make a decision by the end of this month.

5. Mark Meadows asked a GA official to play wrong, sooo sit your bottom down in a GA court room Mark.

6. Doesn't matter how it comes out

I think he will probably win the removal, but it doesn't matter he will still loose the case.

It will still be a state charge, he still can't get a federal pardon, and it will still be prosecuted by Fani Willis.

7. Welcome to DU @Oldvet. Can you share your thoughts on why you think Meadows will win

the appeal.

[Oldvet]

10. Sure

One thing to consider with appeal for removal- it's not like a normal appeal a court case- the 11th can start all the way from square one- almost a complete "re-do"

If the 11th doesn't do it Scotus is probably will

as the other two criminal defendants.

12. She's been damned close to batting a thousand so far.

My guess is this maneuver was predicted and gamed out by her office long before Meadows' lawyers even thought of asking for the change of venue, and her office will see it stopped dead in its tracks.
