if mr. meadows succeeds and the case does get moved to federal court does that mean the whole case is going to get moved to federal court, that all of the other defendants will benefit in the same way he is trying to here? >> great question. i don't think you have enough time in the show for me to explain all of the possibilities, rachel. but there's two answers. yes and no. there's one school of thought that said the other 18 defendants go with mr. meadows. if one goes they all go to put it simply. there is another school of thought and i think this is probably more likely that you would determine what happens to each defendant on his or her own merits. remember, some of them are not even federal officials. some of them wouldn't have any plausible colorable federal defense in federal court. it makes more sense to me that you would determine each one on his or her own merits. >> that seems fair. random state senator or a publicist for a rapper at least at this point in our country's history doesn't count as a federal official. chuck rosenberg former u.s. attorney, former senior fbi official, clarion as always. chuck, thank you so much. >> thank you, rachel.
