I've often said the real villains in DOJs abusive prosecution of Trump, his allies, and his voters are the DC judges. And no one is more villainous than Beryl Howell, former chief judge appointed by Obama.
Almost all of her orders are under seal--so much so that she was mocked by her own colleagues during her send off in March for her secret rulings and hearings.
She claimed Trump's Twitter records would reveal evidence of a crime so she ordered the company to produce the files while keeping her order secret from both the public and Trump.
A few of her greatest hit jobs:
She claimed Trump's lawyer, Evan Corcoran, was used in furtherance of a crime (obstruction, lol) so she took the highly unusual step of piercing atty-client privilege between the former president and his attorney to force Corcoran to testify to DC grand jury and produce all of his comms with Trump related to classified documents case. (Her order remains under seal.)
She claimed security footage would show evidence of a crime so she approved subpoena for 9 months of video from Mar a Lago cameras from inside the former president's home. (Also under seal.)
She denied exec privilege claims for Trump associates including Mark Meadows and Stephen Miller to compel them to testify to DC grand jury. (Order under seal, pending at appellate ct.)
She claimed Rep. Scott Perry's phone, stolen by FBI agents a year ago, could have evidence of a crime so she denied his Speech and Debate Clause defense and ordered the phone's contents turned over to DOJ. (Also on appeal.)
Her treatment of J6 defendants is grotesque. She authored a Feb 2021 opinion establishing special no-bail rules just for Trump supporters. She confronted prosecutors in 2021 demanding to know why they weren't bringing harsher charges against J6ers.
The rot and corruption in our nation's capital lies squarely in her courtroom. She's not chief judge anymore but her legacy of destruction will last a very long time.
“her secret rulings and hearings”
“justice meted out by the Star Chamber could be very arbitrary and subjective, and it enabled the court to be used later on in its history as an instrument of oppression rather than for the purpose of justice for which it was intended. Many crimes which are now commonly prosecuted, such as attempt, conspiracy, criminal libel, and perjury, were originally developed by the Court of Star Chamber, along with its more common role of dealing with misdemeanours, and, later, riots and sedition.”

I once hoped that those with lifetime appointments would be insulated from the corruption of the deep state, but I was wrong.
So am I. Now if we could only deport her to a Marxist banana republic of her choice permanently to stay.
Echo chamber cult of black robed lunatics.
The commie judge is still there. She’s just not ‘Chief Judge’ as her term ended.
Great.
Biden DOJ Collects List of Every Person Who Followed,

Court documents released Monday by the Justice Department show that special counsel Jack Smith successfully obtained access to everyone who liked, retweeted or mentioned Donald Trump on Twitter, now known as X.
The search warrant, issued in January by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is part of Smith’s investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021.
The release of the documents came as a result of a lawsuit brought by a consortium of media organizations seeking to bring sunlight to the special counsel’s probe into Trump, the New York Post reported.

As we’ve seen w/ Biden’s using our justice system against Trump.....
<><>every court ruling that allows the lawless Biden government to operate above the rule of law,
<><>every piece of Democrat legislation that limits our freedoms,
<><>and every act of Biden and family’s wrongdoing that goes unpunished,
<><>conditions us to a Democrat-controlled govt in which the Constitution means nothing.
Any attempt by the government to encroach upon the citizenry’s privacy rights or establish a system by which the populace can be targeted, tracked, monitored and singled out must be met with extreme caution.
“Biden’s ‘gotcha’ Dragnet surveillance” exemplified by Biden’s criminalization of whatever he doesnt like, is nothing more than a govt fishing expedition, a blatant attempt to circumvent the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement and Constitutional prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.
A few Freepers often say to me Obama changed things dramatically and that it can be traced back to him .
This also includes his military appointments in the upper echelons
Judge Arthur Engoron “sided with the AG’s attorney’ in Letitia James’ office and said,
“the mere fact that lenders were happy doesn’t mean that the statute wasn’t violated.”
Who, in heaven’s name, ever heard of a judge, sitting on the bench, no less, expressing his opinion......
actually disdaining the defendant, and coming down on the side of the AG’s attorney...in.an.open.court?
The rot is deep and wide...not just a handful of judges
The goal is to get a conviction, even if Trump wins an appeal. The conviction will be the center point of the Dem’s campaign, and the press will ignore the appeal.

Julie Kelly is 100% correct. The SCOTUS justices are not the fascists in black robes. It’s those bottom tier, Feral pieces of crap like Tanya Chitkan.
Everything Obama did was ideologically driven to the exclusion of all other considerations, where Biden is more obsessed with affirmative action, to the exclusion of all else. The result is Obama appointments are efficient Marxists where Biden’s are just blithering idiots. Either way, we lose.
Yup. They are all the worst pieces of human sh*t findeable in this nation. May horrible things happen to the DC judges.
Those things are judicial hit jobs, unconstitutional, and a complete abuse of power. They are unforgivable for a functional republic, but would be secretly applauded by fascists or communists. Her actions aren’t just illegal, in this setting they amount to treason. However, the DOJ and FBI are probably giving her congratulations right now.
This is exactly why DOJ then Jack Smith conducted the entire classified docs case in DC. They knew Howell would sign off on whatever they wanted and keep the details under wraps.Follow-up TweetAs always, the ones shrieking about "rule of law" and "protecting democracy" are the ones destroying it.
Best thing that can be done is disband the DC circuit. Give pink slips to all the judges and send them home.
