Note — I am embarassed to say I need a small fundraiser to keep me going here and to keep me from hitting the credit cards for groceries before the September Social Security deposit appears. Here’s the gofundme page, and you can give to PayPal on the link on the right. (Any additional money will go into the Furniture Fund. Maybe someday I will have two chairs. Right now the only chair I own is a decrepit desk chair that seems to sink lower and lower every day.)

On to business — Tomorrow Mark Meadows will have a hearing about getting his Georgia trial moved to federal court. As I understand it, even if Meadows is successful about the only difference will be that he’ll enjoy a larger jury pool. The case would still be tried under Georgia RICO laws, and there will be no presidential pardons for any convictions. If his case is moved to federal court, apparently there’s a lot of confusion about how this would impact the case as a whole. Nobody knows how this is supposed to work.

Axios is reporting that the Georgia indictees are looking at five-figure legal fees for each motion filed, and most of them should expect to pay something well into six figures for their legal fees if they go to trial.  The less expensive option is to get a plea deal early on. I’m betting some of the indictees are already thinking about that real hard. They must all be looking for and talking to lawyers by now. This may be sinking in.

And I understand three of the fake electors in Georgia are saying their cases should be moved to federal court, too, on the grounds that they were taking direction from President Trump. Of course, they probably didn’t talk to Trump directly, but they were led to understand by White House figures that Trump wanted them to be his electors.
