Andrew Weissmann: 本期节目讨论了乔治亚州选举干预案的最新进展,重点是Mark Meadows将州级刑事案件移至联邦法院的请求被驳回。法官的裁决是正确的,因为它符合法律,旨在保护联邦官员免受州政府的不当干涉,而本案中指控的是相反的情况:联邦政府不当干涉州政府的行动。法官的裁决没有越过移交请求的第一步,因为Mark Meadows未能证明其行为是在其官方职责范围内进行的。此外,特别大陪审团的报告公开指名未被起诉的人是不公平的,这与联邦法律的惯例不同。Fani Willis在决定对谁提起诉讼以及提起什么指控方面行使了检察权,这与特别大陪审团的建议不同。大陪审团的反馈对政府评估案件很有用。Jack Smith正在试图获取Scott Perry手机的内容,这与乔治亚州的移交听证会有关,因为这涉及到Mark Meadows和Scott Perry之间的沟通。 Mary McCord: 法官的裁决语气高亢,并且巧妙地暗示了Mark Meadows在证词中作伪证,但他避免直接指出这一点,以保护被告的权利。法官的裁决避免了对其他被告的预判,并强调了每个案件的个体性。Fani Willis在决定对谁提起诉讼以及提起什么指控方面行使了检察权,这与特别大陪审团的建议不同。特别大陪审团的报告突显了Fani Willis在行使检察权方面的谨慎,反驳了对其政治迫害的指控。Jim Jordan试图干涉州一级刑事调查是具有讽刺意味的,因为它与联邦主义的原则相悖。Jim Jordan的行为是对法治的破坏,Fani Willis的回应是恰当的。

Plus, a judge rejects Mark Meadows’ attempt to move his case from state to federal court. What could this mean for Trump’s potential removal request? MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break down the latest developments.
