consider his request to move his case to federal court. again. he s asking the same court that rejected his request a few weeks ago, except now he s asking all 12 judges on the court to consider it instead of just the three judge panel. your sense of what they are trying to do here. yeah, it is not a surprise that mark meadows is going to pull every possible lever at his disposal to try to get the trial judge s ruling reversed and to get this case moved to federal court. but kiptly, the trial judge in atlanta, the 11th circuit, generally conservative, have said much like the argument that we re talking about with respect to presidential immunity, it s a similar argument, which everything i m charged with in the reck tiering case in georgia was part of my official responsibility as white house chief of staff. therefore, the adjudication of
briefs filed in support of jack smith s position in this case. one by a number of former republican high-level administration officials and judges from five different administrations, raising the executive vesting clause argument, which is that it would violate the executive vesting clause, whiches vests the power of the presidency in one person for four years and four years only unless reelected and to allow a president to escape criminal liability when they commit crimes that would keep them in power past their four years, when they haven t been elected, would drektly that provision. and another similar brief from another brief of lawyers makes similar arguments. so there s going to be a lot before the d.c. dirt sit sur kit court of appeal, including another brief that shouldn t be appealed until the end of trial.

privilege and prevent those records from being turned over to the house select committee. that was litigated. he lost there. it was litigated at the d.c. sur kit. they said we will apply every test possible, i mean the test that they need to apply, he loses under every test. the supreme court did not take that case. think said under every test he loses, we re not taking it. and that very night, the night that they issued their ruling, the documents started flowing to the house select committee. so i think if there s a thorough ruling, and the supreme court feels comfortable with it, i don t think they particular want to rule on this case. it s also highly possible they will. there s a not insignificant chance. tim, i want to turn to news out of the fulton county election case. you have trump s former white house chief of staff asking a federal appeals court to
