NEW: #Trump no longer seeks to remove the #Colorado #14thAmendment suit to #FederalCourt.

This is pretty weird, because it isn’t a thing, legally.

#Georgia #judge won't let Ken #Chesebro & #SidneyPowell #sever their cases. Though he expressed concern about trying all 19 defendants together on Oct. 23 — & the possibility that #FederalCourt could upend it all.
Judge #McAfee re scenario in which the trial goes forward & then federal courts swoop in & remove the case or parts of it. "To charge ahead...might be risky."

772 followers · 3061 posts · Server masto.aiThe #law requires #defendants to establish 3 things to move a case to #FederalCourt: that they were an officer of the US or acting under an officer; that they’re facing #criminal charges “for or relating to any act under color of such office”; &that they have raised or will raise a “colorable federal defense.” #Meadows filed a separate motion in fed court to #dismiss #charges against him under the #Constitution’s #SupremacyClause, but this will be heard only if his arguments for #removal prevail

#MarkMeadows’s job wasn’t to help #Trump steal the 2020 election
This is how he justifies asking to be tried in #FederalCourt for his actions — such as setting up the Jan. 2, 2021, call in which Trump asked #Georgia Secy of State Brad #Raffensperger (R) to “find 11,780 votes” — rather than in the GA state courthouse where he faces charges from #FultonCounty’s DA.

#ShawnStill, a #Georgia #Republican charged w/ #Trump in a #racketeering #conspiracy to subvert the #2020election, says he signed false papers… #AtTrumpsDirection.
“Still, as a presidential elector, was also acting at the direction of the incumbent president of the United States,” his #attorney Thomas Bever argued Thurs in a #CourtFiling seeking to transfer the case against him to #FederalCourt.

3 of the 19 defendants charged by #Willis were fed ofcls at the time…: #Trump, #Clark & #Meadows. Meadows filed a motion on Fri …to dismiss the charges against him, based on the Supremacy Clause.
