• A federal judge denied former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’ request for an emergency stay of a ruling that sent his Georgia election interference case back to state court.
  • Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s final chief of staff, had asked U.S. District Judge Steve Jones to pause his ruling pending an appeal.
  • Meadows has also asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit for an emergency stay, arguing that Jones “egregiously erred.”

    These guys all seem to want federal cases for some reason. They fear the state.

    Plus, “egregiously erred” applies more to what Meadows did (and that’s putting it nicely), not the judge. I hate these backwardass people.

      This is exactly why Trump did his best to stack the federal courts with judges that (he thought) would favor him: he knew what he was doing at the time was illegal, and he’d have to lean on them for when his time came due.

        Thanks for your reply. Agreed!

        I added to my comment, so I wanted to make mention. It doesn’t change what I said or how you replied. Take care

        It would remain state charges. No pardons for them. Any of them.

        They want a broader jury pool to increase the chance of a favorable jury. All there asking is for the fed court to manage the case. It would still be tried in accordance with state rules
