“No way I can get a fair trial, or even close to a fair trial, in Washington, D.C.,” the 77-year-old Florida man who summers in New Jersey said last week. “There are many reasons for this, but just one is that I am calling for a federal takeover of this filthy and crime ridden embarrassment to our nation.”

Guess who. Guess one other of his "many reasons" why he'd not want a jury trial in DC. 

He can elect a bench trial.

(The headline is a paragraph, mid-item, here.)

Does any reader know of a place where a perp can call a judge broken down and ugly and then expect to have that be a basis to get a different judge for his trial?

The rule seems to be conduct claimed to be criminal is judged where the conduct occurred. Standards within a community are important in judging conduct within the community. 

Or that's what Wall Street criminals seem to believe within their community. Ditto, Supreme Court Justices re their community.

Too few MAGA hats worn in public is not cause to change venue, or hasn't been.

There are good people on both sides.
