[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes Lindsay Graham already lost that battle all the way up to the Supreme Court, although that was for the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution, not executive privilege.

Pretty sure Meadows already lost on claiming executive privilege for the Jan 6 committee. I can't see what additional grounds he could get it moved to Federal court.

This is not an executive privilege claim.  It’s federal officer removal.  It is based on a statute (28 USC 1442) and requires the defendant be a federal officer “acting under color of” federal office, and have a plausible federal defense.[/quote]

He is charged for participating in the phone calls and text messages to Georgia officials pressuring them to throw out the election results and declare Trump the winner and for sending them all the crazy election fraud theories with no supporting evidence or law in an attempt to justify the demand to blow up democracy.

None of that is remotely related to his official government duties. They are fraudulent campaign activities that he is supposed to be barred from doing while working in the White House. [/quote]
