Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is asking a federal court to dismiss Georgia state criminal charges against him stemming from former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election, according to a court document.
Yep. And this one in particular everyone was expecting.
On a cursory glance the argument may make some sense, however taking part it a conspiracy isn’t a protected action. As long as there is a half competent judge hearing this motion it shouldn’t last long.
Specifically, this motion has to come pretrial. Immunity cannot be a defense during trial, and it must be made to be appealed later even when the judge disagrees.
