Christie thinks he has a case to make in his attempt to make his case federal:

“He’s [Meadows] got an argument to make, Nancy, there’s no doubt about that under the statutes, there’s an argument to make,” Christie said in an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

At a hearing in Atlanta on Monday, Meadows’s attorneys are expected to argue for moving his case to a federal court .. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4171719-georgia-courtroom-battles-begin-monday-in-next-stage-of-trump-case/ .. so he can also in part assert immunity due to the charges relating to his time serving in the executive branch. Christie, a former federal prosecutor, noted moving the venue will depend on the discretion of the trial judge.

“Here’s a federal judge who’s going to be hearing that and he’s going to want to hear all the different evidence and the balancing of the interests in these venue decisions on that basis,” Christie said. “So is there an argument to be made? There’s definitely an argument to be about switching venue to federal court.”

Christie argued a venue switch would not change much, besides likely preventing a televised trial.

“In the end, all of the charges must remain the same,” Christie said. “So, I think that whether Mark Meadows wins that motion or doesn’t is not going to make a substantive difference on how ultimately a jury is going to be asked to make these decisions at the time of the trial.”

Meadows has put his case. Hoping Fani Willis wins.
