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.
I’d be in trouble, if she wanted 9 months of security footage from me.
Why on earth would Trump even have that footage? Is his home part of the Federal archives?
I’d tell her it was erased on a loop.
Better yet, give her 9 months of footage from an Only Fans account. Tell her they have fun at Mar a Lago.
And the feckless Supreme Court.
And spineless, geriatric, “Senator-for-life” R’s in the Senate were happy to approve these judges.
Not all R’s, just enough. Although sometimes these marxist judges sailed through. When their histories were available for all to see.
