    TIL. I thought that if they moved to federal court, DOJ would have to try them for the equivalent federal crimes. And, of course, Trump could pardon all of them if he wins again.

      That’s the plan. Hope that Trump gets re-elected and he Parsons them. They know they are screwed.

        Doesn’t work that way, state charges are state charges.

        The only thing moving to federal court does is remove the cameras and MAYBE get a more favorable jury pool.
