      That’s the Federal indictment brought by Jack Smith, not the State indictment brought by Fani Willis. Moving the Georgia case to Federal court would involve the Federal court district proximate to Fulton County, not relocation to a whole other state.

      Ok I want to see justice served to all those involved as much as anyone but I don’t think we can hold the high ground if we praise the use of biased jurors. It certainly is nothing to be smug about.

        They (republicans fighting felony indictments) are trying to, in several instances, get a jury pool of conservative white men, which they’re calling a “diverse jury pool”. That’s them doing exactly what you’re saying of desiring to use biased jurors. I’m not praising it, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous and why I called it out.

        If felony indictments aren’t something you desire, and you’re upset that a jury of your peers might not be stacked with people aligned with your corrupt practices and brainwashed in your political cult, then maybe don’t. Commit. Fucking. Crimes.

          While practically impossible to get a certain jury pool that would be exactly in the middle, both extremes can be wrong. If you’re laughing because of the absurdity of them not getting their way to stock it with Republicans, then I apologized for the misunderstanding.

          If people are smug for it being stacked with Democrats, then they are not much better than those that trying to move it to a friendly venue.
