"“The central question in the removal and in the prosecution itself — indeed the core of trying to understand the attempted coup — is whether there’s any possible legal justification for what was done,” Trump indictment guru Norm Eisen told me. “Judge Jones is the latest to make clear there was not, and that is very bad news indeed for Meadows, Trump and the other 17 co-defendants.”"

"talking to Trump’s campaign managers and chairmen, canoodling with the Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee about fund raising for the non-billionaire president when he ran low on campaign cash, calling the speaker of the house in Arizona and asking him to violate his oath of office…all of it was completely legal because everybody knows laws like the Hatch Act don’t apply to Republicans."

Lucian K. Truscott on why the denial of Mark Meadows' request to have his RICO case transferred to federal court is important:

"Meadows had tried to make the case that pretty much everything he did while Trump was chief of staff was just part of the job –"

My work is done. We raked the hay off the communally maintained #meadows yesterday, with wooden pronged rakes (by Rudd's of Dufton -- they are lovely). The field/community garden is surrounded by golf courses on all sides.

I’m really trying to figure out how #meadows didn’t just admit under oath to a Hatch act violation--civil penalties are the worst he’d get, but...

#Meadows wouldn’t be in this jam if he wasn’t afraid of being yelled at by #Trump

READ NOW!

Read the judge's 49 page denial document detailing why he refused Mark Meadows attempt to move his GA state charges to federal court.

#Meadows #Georgia The court found that Meadows exceeded his role as WH chief of staff by working directly with the Trump campaign. You can find the court order here. https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1700265421407129753?s=20

Wow, this is a huge loss for #MarkMeadows, as well as #JeffreyClark, and likely Donald #Trump as well. All three of them were hoping to get their #Georgia cases removed to federal #court where they'd face a more friendly jury, and considerations related to their status as federal officials. If #Meadows had prevailed, it would have increased the likelihood that both Clark and Trump could also move to federal court. That ship has now sailed.

#Meadows sent an email pushing the false electors because “Because I knew I’d be yelled at by the president of the United States.”

OMG What a way to run a government.

#Meadows defense. I shit you not, you can’t make this up.
“What I didn’t want to happen was for the campaign to prevail in court action and not have this” lined up, he said.
“Why?” prosecutor Anna Cross asked him.
“Because I knew I’d be yelled at by the president of the United States,” he said.
So, you put the democracy of this country on the line, because you didn’t want to get yelled at?
Are you fucking kidding me?

I turned in my manuscript y'all. It's done! (at least, until I get my editor's feedback…) In the interim I will briefly obsess over the next thing.

As per #AndrewWeissman

« #Meadows & #Georgia dispute over removal law: GA has stronger legal position, (with) credible proof Meadows lied at removal hearing, which can be charged by #Smith & #Willis.
& Meadows has eliminated himself as possible cooperator.

For #perjury, see GA brief on Meadows denying under oath playing "any role" in #ElectorScheme; but see myriad emails (incl GA ex 1 emails) where he cleary does participate.»

#Meadows: “I would get invited to almost every meeting that the president had,” Meadows testified, describing his close advisory role w/ Trump. Sometimes people would meet with him so he could “get in (Trump’s) ear and pass along their message.”

Question: in terms of legality, what criteria did you use to decide who got access to #tfg?
