Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is back in court.

Her witch hunt is sputtering against Donald Trump.

And Fani Willis begged the Supreme Court to do her this giant favor.

Fani Willis files brief with Supreme Court in Mark Meadow case

Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows filed an appeal with the United States Supreme Court to move the 2020 Election witch hunt charges Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought against him to federal court.

Willis charged Meadows simply for setting up the January 2, 2021, phone call between Former President Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) where Trump asked for another recount that she now claims is criminal.

Former President Barack Obama appointee U.S. District Judge Steve Jones already rejected Meadows’ big move.

“The Court concludes that Meadows has not shown that the actions that triggered the State’s prosecution related to his federal office,” Jones wrote.

Meadows argued facilitating calls between the President and other individuals was part of his official duties and thus the charges against him should move to federal court.

Moving the case out of Fulton County would allow Meadows a more favorable jury pool as it would open it up to the surrounding counties which – unlike Fulton County – weren’t Democrat strongholds.

Jones took the Special Counsel Jack Smith approach and rejected this argument.

“Meadows’s participation on the January 2, 2021 call was political in nature and involved the President’s private litigation, neither of which are related to the scope of the Office of White House Chief of Staff,” Jones added. 

Even though Jones admitted core duties of the White House Chief of Staff included scheduling phone calls, Meadows scheduling this phone call somehow didn’t count.

“The Court finds that these contributions to the phone call with Secretary Raffensperger went beyond those activities that are within the official role of White House Chief of Staff, such as scheduling the President’s phone calls, observing meetings, and attempting to wrap up meetings in order to keep the President on schedule,” Jones continued.

Jones claimed this was a campaign call even though the President has a duty to see all laws fairly enforced.

“What the Court must decide for purposes of federal officer removal is whether the actions Meadows took as a participant in the alleged enterprise (the charged conduct) were related to his federal role as White House Chief of Staff,” Jones stated. “The actions at the heart of the State’s charges against Meadows were taken on behalf of the Trump campaign with an ultimate goal of affecting state election activities and procedures.”

But the Supreme Court may never hear this case.

The Georgia Court of Appeals is set to hear Trump’s motion to disqualify Willis from the case over the alleged conflict of interest that arose due to her affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

If the Georgia Court of Appeals grants his motion the strong possibility is this case goes away as there is little chance a new prosecutor would want to risk their reputation on Willis’ fatally damaged case.
