Meadows’s bid to move Georgia election case to federal court rejected

The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
You can't be a more conservative judge than Pryor, yet even he agreed with his left-leaning colleagues that Meadows’ attempt to paint his participation in a failed coup as part of his official duties was off-base. Meadows has testified under oath that he recommended election officials take actions that have found him criminally liable, and is desperately attempting to escape justice.
Pro-Trump narrative
It’s obvious that Meadows and Trump were fulfilling the duties of their office. Unfortunately, the law, as currently interpreted, didn't let the court rule in Meadows’ favor, despite obvious personal agreement from the judges. Meadows will get another chance to transfer this case when he appeals to the US Supreme Court.
