Mark Meadows and Jeffrey Clark had both pleaded with the judge to prohibit District Attorney Fani Willis from arresting them by a Friday deadline.

    Federal prosecutors may already have cut a deal with them (or with Meadows at least). They may feel that after attempting to murder American democracy, the deal they cut with the feds to betray their former allies and escape serious consequences needs to be sacrosanct and protect them, and that to do otherwise isn’t fair and ethical.

    If I were a character in the ending to a Roald Dahl short story, I’d get close up to their face and say with a maniacal grin, “Look who’s talking! Look who’s talking!”

      I could be wrong but I believe Ms. Willis remains the prosecutor even if it gets moved. So any deals they cut with federal prosecutors are irrelevant. It basically just means it won’t be on TV.
