It appears at least some of the indicted players in the Trump indictments in Georgia are asking to change to Federal court…but these are State charges not Federal - how could a Federal court hear the case(s) in that situation? Would it enable a potential Presidential pardon which does not apply to State charges otherwise?

Is this a back door way to dodge the charges?

    That’s why I’m asking….it would still be a state case, even if heard in a Federal court (right?). GA filed charges, not the DOJ…that’s the part I’m not clear on.
