U.S. District Judge Steve Jones denied requests made by Mark Meadows and Jeffrey Clark to avoid arrest in Fulton County while their requests to move the case to federal court are pending.
Both Mr. Meadows and Mr. Clark, both former federal officials, have been named as defendants in an indictment against former President Donald Trump and 16 others. Their actions in the former president's challenge of the Georgia election results have led to them being charged with violating the state's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis alleges that their actions constituted a "criminal racketeering enterprise" and gave the 19 defendants until noon on Aug. 25 to voluntarily surrender or face arrest.

Who appointed this Judge?
Obongo… of course.
So, do we now indict everyone involved in the Sore Loserman fiasco to help illustrate how inane this is?
“Who appointed this Judge?”
Obama. Jones is actually a pretty nice and straight-forward guy and normally cites his opinions with plenty of case law to support it. I’ve known him since he was a county municipal or juvenile court judge (it’s been years so I can’t remember which). Of course, this ruling may have been just an Order denying the motion with no other information included.
I’m not understanding the denial, here.
Boy I bet President Trump one of the most pro black presidents is so happy to see that the Fulton county carnival with the black prosecutor, sheriff, judges ensure a fair process on his white self with absolutely no apparent bias shown, right? right?
The dims are using them to do the dirty work.
It's actually quite simple, Meadows has an (R) instead of a (D) after his name ....
The denial is from uncertainty the case will actually be removed to federal court. No reason to approve a motion to avoid reporting given that uncertainty. Nothing is at risk other than PR, which would not be considered.
Trying to understand the judge’s “reasoning”.
I think most of us here are pretty nice, normal Americans, but my vengeance/vendetta patience is wearing thin. If Trump get the corner office, I hope he hunts down these people and drones them with IRS and FBI investigations. Jail em for jaywalking.
So this means that all those Rat attorneys who represent drug gangsters can now be arrested as part of the gang.
For example, the current SoS of Arizona, one Adrian Fontes, made his name representing the Sinaloa Cartel.
Let’s see the alleged “Republican” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell put together a case against Fontes and his Mexican Narco-terrorist co-conspirators. Maybe she could redeem herself after being censured by the AZ Republican Party for her disgusting attempt to sanction Kari Lake.
Of course he did, being a Obama judge how could he rule any different.

No good reason to prevent the state’s arrest. The Federal court will sort this issue on Meadows out as soon as next week.
I like Bongino’s suggestion. If Big Fani wants a spectacle, give her one, good and hard. Trump should refuse to post bond. If the crooked judge puts Trump in jail, the Secret Service must follow federal law and clear everyone else out of the jail. Let Big Fani find a place to put the detainees.
The jail will become the epicenter of nonstop peaceful and patriotic protests for as long as it takes.

The response concluded with the revelation an arrest warrant has already been issued for Meadows:
“(T)he defendant has failed to demonstrate he has suffered irreparable harm warranting federal intervention in his case and has cited no authority authorizing this Court to prevent his lawful arrest. The hardship facing the defendant is no different than any other criminal defendant charged with a crime, including his co-defendants who have either already surrendered to Fulton County Authorities or have agreed to so surrender in the time allotted by the District Attorney. Additionally, the Superior Court of Fulton County has already issued an arrest warrant for the defendant and the Court is not authorized to enjoin such action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2283. Accordingly, this Court should DISMISS or DENY the Defendant’s motion, as appropriate.
In his order, Judge Jones addresses the request to be shielded from arrest, and dismisses it:
“Meadows alternatively requests that the Court enjoin District Attorney Fani Willis from enforcing the arrest warrant against him until after the August 28 evidentiary hearing. Doc. No. [17], 9–16. The Court denies this request. While Meadows’s imminent arrest may present an actual injury, there are strong countervailing reasons to not enjoin the state criminal proceedings (e.g., abstention doctrines and principles of federalism). Section 1455 reinforces this conclusion by clearly requiring state criminal proceedings continue until the federal court has assumed jurisdiction and notified the state court.”
