Mark Meadows Will Be Tried In Georgia Court

Mark Meadows tried valiantly to get his Georgia state level RICO case moved to the federal court system. After a passionate hearing on Friday in front of a panel of appeals court judges that did not seem to be on his side, a ruling was quickly issued on Monday denying his request.

WOMP WOMP.

Even if Donald Trump wins the election in 2024 (shudder), he can't save Meadows'. If he is in prison, he is staying there regardless of who is in the Oval Office. No pardon can save him now. And with D.A. Fani Willis vowing to not offer a plea deal to Trump, Meadows or Giuliani, it is all but certain that Meadows is going to have to get on his hands and knees and beg for a plea deal with leniency.

The basis for the Appeals Court denial is rooted on 2 grounds:

1. Removal does not apply to former officials
2. Charges against Meadows did not involve his "official" duties

Meadows is not the only defendant in this case who is trying to move to federal court, although he was the highest up in terms of status and most likely to get approved, if at all. With his denial finalized, the chances of the other 4 defendants (Jeff Clark and others) seeking a change of venue being successful has dwindled substantially.
