Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is asking a federal court to dismiss Georgia state criminal charges against him stemming from former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election, according to a court document.
This is basically all incorrect from a legal (and logical) standpoint. His motion is proper, but very unlikely to be successful due to his alleged actions falling outside of the reasonable execution of his duties as the COS to the President.
I’m being generous. I think his actions were with full knowledge that he was participating in an attempt to illegally overturn a fair election, but no court has made that determination yet. At present, his actions can be described as part of his role as WHCoS if he is not guilty, and since there is a presumption of innocence prior to conviction, that’s what it is right now.
