The trial is in Georgia either way. Larger, more rural, jury pool in Federal court. But Georgia law still applies. And if the federal judge takes his case, but decides he waived the 5th in getting there, where is the victory?Why did all the lawyer commentators get it wrong predicting Meadows wouldn’t testify? Because the risks of cross-examination are huge. Why did Meadows decide to testify? Because they’ve concluded the consequences of trial in Georgia are more huge.

And if he stays in state court, I understand under Georgia precedent he may be more likely to have waived his 5th amendment protection.
So this looks like a lose-lose.
Yeah, I’m still not seeing the strategy, here.What a high risk gamble.

Mark Meadows takes the stand to support his motion to move Fulton County case to federal court.
Even this statement alone gets him into deeper trouble for involvement in the alleged conspiracy.👇 https://t.co/2OskBvxvf3
