Move the case from state court to federal court. that includes mark meadows, jeffrey clark, and three of the georgia officials who served as state electors. now one of the reasons they are doing that is that a jury pool in a federal trial would be wider than it would be if it was in fulton county because it would include some of the surrounding counties. its an important question because former president trump is also expected to file a similar motion. now if this is going to succeed, we will le...

Co-conspirators in the indictment and the potential impact all of this could have in terms of the political dynamics in georgia? >> yeah. among the people that she has charged here in this indictment, one is a sitting state senator, shawn still. also, of course, david shaffer was the head of the georgia republican party while all of this was going down. there is a former chairwoman of the coffey county republican party, thats a tiny rural county, and missy hampton who was the elections director ...

Would lose, is if the election is rigged. one day after election day, on november 4th, the state of michigan is called for joe biden. and if you days later, on november 7th, biden is declared the winner of the election, becoming president elect joe biden. one month later on december 14th, michigans legitimate state electors meet at the state capital to affirm their votes for joe biden, but on that very same day, 16 other officials, republicans, who would eventually be known as the fix state elec...
