    He wants it moved to Federal Court to increase his chance of eventual pardon. Fuck off, traitor.

      it is still a state case and would not be eligible for a federal pardon. the main advantage for these guys is that the jury would be pulled from that entire federal district rather than just from the city of Atlanta, meaning more rural hillbillies which increases the chance of a sympathetic jury
