My guess is the judge will have little patience for his juvenile behavior. Can we see it here? It would be great entertainment. Yes -- if it is not moved to Federal Court where there is no TV allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 2 minutes ago, jerrymahoney said: Yes -- if it is not moved to Federal Court where there is no TV allowed. It won't be moved. Mark Meadows made a series of errors in his testimony, given in an attempt to move his case from Georgia court to a federal court, possibly harming Meadows himself and the former president, according to a legal expert. NYU law professor Ryan Goodman said in a social media post that Meadows "testified he got involved in false electors scheme" because he didn't want to get yelled at by the former president. "This will bolster prosecutors' cases," Goodman added, noting that the testimony lays the blame at Trump's feet. https://www.rawstory.com/meadows-admission-huge/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having this in state court is what this is all about. A far higher chance of a conviction, with a more limited jury pool. I am hoping they do not allow the trail to be moved. “They would want a jury picked from a wider area than just Fulton County alone,” Atlanta defense attorney Jack Martin said of Trump’s attorneys. “Fulton County is overwhelmingly Democratic, although there are pockets of Republican voters. But getting the wider area would give them fewer Democratic-leaning counties — and jurors —to worry about.” https://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta-news/will-georgia-case-against-trump-end-up-in-federal-court/ADQWGZTHJVAXJHXPGQILZ5VOYA/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They saw Trump leading on election night the magically behind next morning. Nothing to see. Do you know how votes are counted in the US? I assume you don't, which is why you made your silly statement. For your homework, learn how votes are counted. Learn the safety procedures involved in getting ballots to counting centers. Learn when absentee ballots (like the one trump, ivanka, jared and others used to vote) are opened and counted. There's no mystery if you know how it's done. Ignorance of the procedure is fertile ground for embracing conspiracies and nonsense. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Raffsenperger is quoted as saying: Secretary Raffensperger confirmed Mr. Meadows’s limited role in the call (consistent with audio recording introduced into evidence), noting that Mr. Meadows “was acting on behalf of the President,” Tr. 219:14; making clear that he (Raffsenperger) did not believe Mr. Meadows’s participation or statements on the call were “inappropriate,” Tr. 220:16; and acknowledging that Mr. Meadows did not make any requests to change vote totals, So we'll see.

Listen, DOJ job is to persecute and punish wrong-doers. You don't do this by wearing flowers in your hair or chanting psalms. DOJ by its nature (raison d'etre - pd my french) is to serve as a weapon, at the disposition of the American people. You don't go to the DOJ to get marriage licenses or birth certificates. Most (sadly, most but not all) adult Americans know this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at some of those charged were government employees at the time of the charges so the question becomes were they performing an official function or was this gross political activity. And, at least according to the Meadows legal argument, it only takes one such acting in official capacity to move that individual's trial to Federal court. This is just a motion for venue. It is not the criminal trial. Edited September 2, 2023 by jerrymahoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why donny came up with those 'who coulda thunk that' nicknames like "Sleepy", "Low IQ", "Low Energy", "Shifty", "Pocahontas", etc. Imagine with that kind of cleverness how successful trump could have been on the Vaudeville Circuit or in the Catskills in the 1940s and 1950s. donny coulda been a contenda! You know, "many people are saying nobody makes up better nicknames then donny". His wit is only matched by his intellect. Who but donny could have suggested injecting Lysol or sticking a UV light up one's butt to cure Covid? I mean, where's the Nobel Prize in Medicine? He's a stable genius, you know. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
