But weren’t a fair number of the charges based on felony violations of federal law, that are subject to federal or state jurisdiction. Weren’t some of those federal felonies used to bootstrap the state charges to felonies?

If the federal and state violations are that intertwined it might be enough to get it moved, considering the law on trying former government officials. Also not sure if that decision is subject to immediate review by federal appellate courts, including the Supreme Court.

All potential lengthy delays.

But then again my wife claims she’s going to have “Oh, I forgot” carved on my headstone.
