    Let’s stick with this one, for when his realty pops.
    Yes, I’m still a bit suspicious- the lighting is way different than all the others.
     


    So this is actually really interesting.

    Still (one of the 'fake elector' defendants) claims that he acted under Trump's direction. He's saying this so that he can remove the case to federal court under the federal officer removal statute. I mentioned this before, but the caselaw holds that private parties (i.e. federal contractors) acting under the direction of a federal officer can also remove to federal court under the statute.

    But the test is still the same - the federal officer has to have been acting under the color of federal law. The federal district court in Atlanta is going to have to resolve this question, starting with a hearing on Monday, and certainly the court's determination will eventually get to the Supreme Court.

    But the stronger argument appears to be that there is nothing in the White House or DOJ authority that gives Trump, Meadows, or Clark authority to seek to influence the election in Georgia. If those efforts lose and the case remains in Georgia state court on the basis that there is no color of federal law, this filing now becomes evidence against Trump that the fake electors believed they were acting under Trump's direction.
     
    So Cheesbro asked for speedy trial. An angle someone mentioned was Willis will have to call 90% of her witnesses which gives the rest of the defendants ability to call them, for each trial, and thinks if testimony changes just a bit, could soften the case. Yeah?
