Supreme Court Denies Meadows Case

Former Chief of Staff for Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, got some bad news this week.

Meadows found out his motion to have his case moved from a county court to federal court has been denied.

But, even though Meadows’ case was rejected, the court still could grant the same motion for Trump.

Sending It Back

Meadows has been trying to get his case moved to federal court from the outset, insisting that everything he did that is being questioned fell under his duties as chief of staff for the president.

That being the case, the case should be tried in a federal court, not a state court. If that were the case, Meadows believed that he could get the charges outright dismissed.

The order did not offer any opinions, nor did it say if any of the other justices had supported the idea of the case going to federal court.

Some believe this has nothing to do with the Trump case, and the court could still allow the Trump case to be moved to federal court, but I don’t see that happening.

I actually believe the Meadows decision is a precursor for what would happen if Trump filed the same motion.

Having said that, I doubt Trump will ever go to trial on this matter now that he has been elected to office.

Earlier reports stated that Special Counsel Jack Smith was already trying to wind down his cases.

In fact, he has already made some moves that make it seem imminent that the federal charges will all be dropped against Trump.

If that happens, we would expect state courts to follow suit and do the same.

Unfortunately for Meadows and everyone else involved in the case, a Trump dismissal will not impact their cases at all, and they could all still end up in jail.

And since these are state courts, there is nothing that Trump could do to help them.

In the case of Meadows, he would have to rely on Governor Kemp giving him a pardon or commuting his sentence.
