Judges increasingly alarmed as Trump’s Jan. 6 clemency decision nears
Politico ^ | December 20, 2024 | Kyle Cheney

“The rewriting of the history of Jan. 6, 2021, is incredibly disturbing,” Judge Beryl Howell said

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan says she has often reassured police officers traumatized by the violence of Jan. 6, 2021, that “the rule of law still applies.”

But as President-elect Donald Trump — once a defendant in Chutkan’s very court — prepares to retake the White House and pardon many Jan. 6 perpetrators, Chutkan now says, “I’m not sure I can do that very convincingly these days.”

Chutkan’s comments, delivered this week as she sentenced another member of the Jan. 6 mob to eight months in prison, are emblematic of the increasing alarm and dismay expressed by federal judges in Washington, D.C., at the likelihood Trump will grant clemency to people they view as responsible for a grave crime against democracy.

In extraordinary but little-watched court proceedings since Election Day, judges appointed by presidents of both parties have emphasized the need for accountability for the people who stormed the Capitol in an attempt to derail the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory. These judges have sounded dire warnings about the fate of the country if the lessons of the 2020 election go unlearned, and they are bluntly bracing for a turbulent start to the second Trump presidency.

Howell and Chutkin, two of the most corrupt and political judges in the nation. Both belong behind bars and not wearing judicial robes. Hell has a special place for both of them.

An investigation into these kangaroo court judges would reveal judicial malpractice. They know they have done wrong.
They’re scared. Why aren’t any BLM rioters in jail?

There are J6 political prisoners who have been jailed for almost four years without trial or bail.

Justify that, you fascist judges.

There was an “insurrection” on January 6. It was an insurrection of the Democratic Party against the rule of law and Conservatives.

Chutkin is a black female foreigner from a rich Jamaican family. I wonder how she would like prison.

Any judge that openly and publicly speaks of “what she can do” against a person and bemoans the fact that she or he is limited by the case, laws, and facts before them should be immediately removed from the bench.

Judge Beryl Howell, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan says she has often reassured police officers traumatized by the violence of Jan. 6, 2021, that 'the rule of law still applies.'

Yeah, the assassin of Ashli Babbitt was so traumatized after he killed her that he was promoted.

Those judges are corrupt and evil -

Add Judge Juan Merchan and DAs like Alvin Bragg and Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Dafna Yoran, who urged jurors at Daniel Penny's subway chokehold trial to convict him of manslaughter on Tuesday - she once sought reduced punishment for a Manhattan mugger who killed an 87-year-old over $300 in 2019 under the concept of "restorative justice."

The lessons of the 2020 Election have been learned all right, but the corrupt Establishment is not going to like it.

"police officers traumatized by the violence of Jan. 6, 2021"

Oh the horror! Broken windows and all. Imagine police having to witness sporadic vandalism.

Perhaps Chutkan is getting a little nervous these day as Fat Ass Fanny Willis had her lawfare case all but dissolved, it would not be surprising if the commies/dems got to her a year ago. How fun would that be uncovering bribes, cash payoffs and other gifts, perhaps even Menendez sent her a gold bar as the corrupticians stick together.

I hope they all sue the DOJ for their treatment in prison. It is my understanding that at least one person lost his eyesight, due to the treatment by the guards while in custody.

Is it the place of a judge to campaign against the potential decisions of a president? Shouldn’t a judge be impartial? They did their job, if a president wants to grant a pardon, what should it matter to them? And, because these “judges” are inserting themselves into political decisions, can they be trusted to sit on cases involving defendants from the January 6 riots?

Not only pardon those wrongfully convicted of manufactured crimes but DJT will jail those who committed those crimes against our citizens who had every right to be in Washington that day and were setup and eve shot and killed.
Truth always prevails

The only judges I have ever dealt with were traffic court judges. They were pretty fair and one even dismissed my ticket with my antics when I went so far as to go to a race track to measure the acceleration of my 30 year old beater showing it was impossible for me to be going the speed the cop said I was going after a green light. I pity anyone facing these tyrannical marxist democrat foot soldier judges. I was looking at a $250 fine. Trump was faced with half a billion dollar fine and Jan 6th grandmas are facing 20:years in solitary while murderers walk free.

There is no justice system in America

To read that the police still remember the fear of Jan 6 reminds me of how I used to admire all police officers. and now don’t give a damn about their fears and the dangers of the job.
The judges are abetting fake fear. Shame on those robed charlatans.
It is all about President Elect Donald J. Trump.
The left never pursue the truth and they yearn to take our Liberties away.

Be ready for some nasty goings on for the next few years.

The evil witch pelosi sent in 100s of plainclothes fed agents to turn the rally into a riot and give the cops an excuse
to arrest everybody and murder two unarmed women.
