It was Jeffrey Clarke who the federal judge ruled he could not basically enter an injunction to stop the state prosecution. However Meadows and at least one other defendant have in fact moved to have the case transferred to federal court and the same judge who turned down Clarke has set I believe October 15th as the date for the hearing to determine whether or not it should be transferred. Under the law it’s a slam dunk to get it removed but nothing is a slam dunk where Trump is involved.
Now here’s what occurred to me that might be a problem for Fani. Just because you’re admitted to practice in Georgia doesn’t get you admitted to the federal district court. It’s a separate process and anyone who does trial work would know it and immediately get admitted. I don’t know if Fani is. I searched everywhere I could and could find nowhere where Fani’s admissions were listed.
I tried a case in federal district court in Atlanta and it’s a nice courthouse.
