he s not charged under michigan law, quote, yet. that prosecutor in the michigan state case also says that that state criminal case there is still open, still ongoing, they re still investigating. but now on the day trump was convicted in his new york case, we find out in surprise testimony that federal prosecutors and fbi agents as of right now, as of thursday, are interviewing people who saw what happened with the attempted overthrow of the election in michigan. there haven t been federal charges brought in michigan, right? i mean, trump is already facing federal criminal charges for trying to overthrow the government and stay in power after losing the 2020 election. those charges were brought in d.c. but it would appear that that federal investigation into that overall matter is still open if federal prosecutors from d.c. and the fbi are still investigating and still interviewing people right now. if they are doing so, and according to that police captain s testimony they are, i wou
official, the same guy who had to personally bar the door of the state capitol against the fake electors when they were trying to get in. and what he just testified in court last week is that on thursday, while trump was being convicted in his new york criminal case, he, this michigan state police captain now, he was being interviewed by the fbi and by federal prosecutors from rv washington, d.c., wait a second. i thought he was testifying in a state case, a state criminal he case that s been brought against those fake electors. yes, he was testifying in the state criminal case, but he in testified that he had just beenh in touch with federal prosecutors and the fbi. so in that michigan fake electors prosecution, michigan is one of four states where there are state criminal charges pending against trump s fake electors. in that state, trump is named as an unindicted co-conspirator. that prosecutor in the michigan state case also says that state
whether or not they ever go to trial remains to be seen. what is amazing about this case is this is the one that was on nobody s radar into really only a couple months ago. people were saying oh, that is scheduled but it won t go forward, because all these other trial dates keep getting pushed out. nobody expected this case to be much. people put it as number four out of four of the criminal cases against donald trump, me included. i did not place it very highly. in my view, any federal criminal case is always going to have a better chance of conviction than any state criminal case. and i still think that is the case. but the practical reality is that if donald trump is elected and he is inaugurated in any of those federal cases are still pending, they will go bye-bye. they will go proof. there will be an attorney general appointed who will make them go away. so if they ever go to trial, high likelihood of conviction. i just have to say, the new york case, i did not see it coming up th
this is the one that was on nobody s radar until a couple of months ago. people were say no that schedule but it will go forward. nobody expected this case to be much. people put it as number four out of four on the criminal cases against donald trump, me included. i did not place it very highly. in my view, any federal criminal case is always going to have a better chance of conviction than any state criminal case and i still think that is the case, but the practical reality is that if donald trump is elected and inaugurated in any of those federal cases are still pending, they will go poof. there will be an attorney general appointed who will make them go away, so if they ever go to trial, high likelihood of conviction. i would just have to say that the new york case, i did not see it coming this quickly. i fell asleep on it and all of a sudden, it was upon us. even to the last minute i thought that trial dates got to get pushed out and then it didn t, and it went forward.
going to be coming over here first, so that they can get everything negotiated, set, his bail time approved by the judge so they can be on their way to the arrest. we ll have to see if donald trump will be treated differently than any other criminal defendant and how much time he spends in the jail as opposed to the 18 other defendants in this case, who are also going to have to go through this process, very likely also going to want to negotiate their bail terms, and then head over later this week, to be processed, arrested, fingerprinted, potentially even searched and mug shotted. one of those other 18, mark meadows, is asking a federal court to throw out the charges he s facing in georgia. explain his argument. yeah, mark meadows has moved really fast to try and derail this state criminal case against him. he is one of the other defendants next to trump. but what he s done is two-fold.
