npub1msrcxtf8rdrstfdw04u8zwk4mucfhaj7gns3ylfn2d3ezxhqwjwqet0y7u (npub1msr…0y7u) There's apparently (I had no idea!) a removal statue that covers state criminal charges against federal officials (acting in their official capacity). (I don't know its history, but I can guess!)

The arg against (as it was in NY apparently) was that Trump wasn't acting in his official capacity. And even if removed, it looks to me like it would still be state law but in federal court (as in civil removal). Weird tho, and I dunno what happens w/r/t pardons if this happens.
