They're accusing him of federal crimes, so it would be before a federal court - which are appointed by presidents. So it won't matter that much if it's in DC or New York (won't be because the supposed crimes did not take place there).
I guess they could try to manipulate the system to get a 'reliable' judge. Maybe the one who is persecuting all the J6 people. But with this high-profile of a defendant, it will not be as easy to screw him over. It would surely backfire.
Not if they file in one of their states, like Washington or New York. They'll pick a judge that rubberstamps anything.

They'll pull a Maxwell: the judge mysteriously gets promoted right after the trial and everything damaging to the state gets sealed.
