I was just (somewhat poorly) answering the ‘why is this even an option’ question above, not trying to justify it.

Even if it does work, it changes nothing but the venue. They’re still facing state charges, and it’s still DA Willis and her team bringing them, it’ll just be a federal judge overseeing with a slightly larger jury pool.

My point wasn’t that it’s a way to avoid the charges, however it will work as a delay tactic.
