Lawyers for fat former President Trump on Thursday informed Fulton County, Georgia Judge Scott McAfee he “may” seek to remove his case to federal court, Lawfare’s Anna Bower reports.
“President Trump hereby notifies the Court that he may seek removal of his prosecution to federal court under 28 USC §§ 1442 & 1455. His written waiver of arraignment was filed on August 31, 2023. To be timely, his notice of removal must be filed within 30-days of his arraignment. 28 USC § 1455(b)(1),” wrote lawyer Steve Sadow, including the “President Trump” like he’s some white trash MAGA hatter who’s been to dozens of rallies in 17 different states, each time pissing himself in awe of the mere presence of the Orange Messiah and not a licensed attorney practicing in a court of law.
Trump already failed in his quest to remove the New York charges to federal court but the differing circumstances make any attempt at comparison pointless. The more instructive example might be with co-defendant Mark Meadows, who’s still awaiting a decision on his bid to federalize his trial. Even if Meadows prevails (reportedly that’s a jump ball) Trump still may have difficulty arguing that he was acting as the President and not a candidate when he threatened and harassed Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger among all the other shit which got him hit with 13 felony counts in Georgia.
