Bad news for Trump stooge Mark Meadows

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has managed to handle his legal problems in the dumbest way possible. He cooperated with investigators just enough to be seen as a sellout by Trump world, but he didn’t cooperate enough to be able to get himself any sort of leniency. He stands criminally indicted in multiple jurisdictions while he awaits trial. Now he’s even managing to lose on the jurisdiction front.

Meadows has now lost his attempt at getting his Arizona state level criminal charges moved to federal court. If this sounds familiar, it comes after Meadows also failed in his attempt at getting his Georgia state level criminal charges moved to federal court. It’s not clear why Meadows thinks this is some kind of winning strategy, but it keeps predictably failing him.

Mark Meadows is now looking at spending a long time in state prison in Arizona and/or Georgia, whichever state convicts him first. And with all these antics he’s likely burned his bridges too severely with prosecutors to even be able to cut a cooperation deal. Meadows is simply toast. He and Trump can share a cell.
