  • First test in Georgia v. Trump

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 28 06:05:23 2023
    First test in Georgia v. Trump: Can prosecutors keep home-court
    advantage?

    At a key Monday hearing, a federal judge will consider a bid to move
    the case out of the state court system.

    The first big showdown for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis
    in her case against Donald Trump and 18 of his allies will take place
    on unfamiliar turf: a federal courtroom.

    Officially, the Monday hearing in Atlanta will focus on a bid by
    co-defendant Mark Meadows to move the case out of Georgia state court.

    5 ways Mark Meadows's testimony in Georgia federal court could
    backfire

    Mark Meadows threw the dice in an Atlanta federal courtroom Monday,
    taking the witness stand while under indictment by a Fulton County,
    Ga., grand jury.

    Meadows, who was former President Trump's chief of staff, testified in
    a bid to get his indictment "removed" to federal court for trial. The
    odds that his testimony comes back to haunt him are enormous.

    Good read...Meadows screwed the pooch there...apparently, he was not
    informed about what to say, and not to say.

    Judge did his homework...experienced judge.
